If the shoe fits..
http://fantasycollfoot.usatoday.com/....asp?sport=CFBTennessee self reported two minor recruiting violations to the NCAA. Both occurred under new coach Lane Kiffin's watch. The violations centered around performing mock simulations of game day experiences with recruits while on their official visits.
In a ironic twist of fate, Kiffin had accused Florida Urban Meyer of committing recruiting violations a week ago. Kiffin was reprimanded by SEC commissioner Mike Slive as the accusations turned out be false. What is that old saying about people that live in glass houses? Feb. 10 - 4:30 p.m. ET

Lane Kiffin should really consider not talking for a while.KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The University of Tennessee is reporting a third secondary recruiting violation involving new football coach Lane Kiffin.
Kiffin, in a radio interview Friday morning, mentioned recruit Bryce Brown by name and called him "a great player."
According to The Knoxville News Sentinel, NCAA rules prohibit a coach from making such comments before the prospect has signed a letter of intent.
Earlier this week, the school reported violations for a mock news conference held by nine prospects during an official visit to the university, and for using a fog machine as a recruit entered the field at Neyland Stadium.
Additionally, Kiffin was reprimanded last week by Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive for falsely accusing Florida's Urban Meyer of a recruiting violation.
