Tennessee Volunteers coach Lane Kiffin says NCAA investigating Bryce Brown's eligibility - ESPN

"I think it's a gigantic distraction. I think it's very unfortunate," Kiffin said in announcing the investigation after Tuesday's practice.

Lord knows the last thing anyone wants to do is distract you, Lane...

Bet Brown never plays a down for UT.

I'd take you up on that.

His best chance is if the NCAA wants him to pay for all the travel expenses. How long will that process take? He'll be under investigation this whole season(NCAA is notoriously slow). Maybe longer. He could lose 2 seasons of football. That could end his chance of playing at UT. He'll look at the Canadian option, again.

What does this mean for Arthur at Miami?

Best chance? Seriously, if he is "under investigation," it won't keep him from playing or anything until he is found guilty if I understand correctly. In which case, he will have plenty of time to tote the rock for Lane and the Rocky Tops until this little issue is brushed under the table.

Yeah. 'Cause, like, the last thing Lane Kiffin would ever want is for anyone to be a gigantic distraction.





Other than himself.

"It has helped a lot," Kiffin said. "For our program to be in the news so much now, not just locally but nationally."

Well, Lane asked for the spotlight back in February. Guess being in the news isn't as much fun right now.

Would Kiffin risk using a player who could be declared ineligible and voiding any wins?

Kiffin wins???? Mighty big assumption.

Wins??? That's old school!! "W" means Wild Boyz posters now...

Good for the kid. Tennessee got a good one. It was looking very iffy for a while.

Tennessee got a good one.

Did the magnetic poles in Taos completely switch or something? :tongue2:

Brother is leaving Miami...likely to end up at Kansas State.

Some older info on the situation:

Arthur Brown to Transfer

Got some info today on Arthur today. He was in Wichita and did not attend Miami's bowl game. Was told that he plans on enrolling at Butler as to not have to sit a year.

Seems like that info is now being confirmed...
