If any of the Peyton stuff is true, do they get those points for the Fulmer Cup?
The hits keep on coming. UT player arrested for trying to meet a 14 year old girl for sex in, you guessed it, Florida.

On the same day that the 16 varsity head coaches at Tennessee joined together to defend the athletic department’s beleaguered culture, allegations involving a Vols football legend that helped to taint said culture were in the news yet again.
In a federal lawsuit filed by six former UT students earlier this month in which its alleged the university had “created a… culture that enables sexual assaults by student-athletes, especially football players,” allegations involving a 20-year-old incident involving Peyton Manning were included. Specifically, there was a one-paragraph description in the new suit of a 1996 incident in which it’s alleged Manning, then a star quarterback for the Vols, put his “gluteus maximus, the rectum, the testicles, and the area in between the testicles” on the face of a female athletic trainer (Jamie Naughright) who was examining him for a leg injury.
Manning had claimed he was mooning another UT student-athlete and that was what Naughright had witnessed; after Naughright filed a defamation lawsuit in 2002 against Manning, the two sides reached a “settlement agreement requiring secrecy and confidentiality.” Naughright’s claims were also settled with the university following her leaving her job in 1997.
Fast-forward more than a decade, and the inclusion of the incident in the Title IX lawsuit filed against UT has prompted university lawyers to file a motion requesting the allegation be removed as it’s “immaterial, impertinent, and scandalous” and was nothing more than “a misguided (and unfortunately successful) attempt to generate publicity.” From the Knoxville News Sentinel:
"… those allegations are irrelevant and cast a “derogatory light” on the UT alumnus, university lawyers argued, adding that the lawsuit includes plaintiffs with cases that occurred between 2013 and 2015 and doesn’t make allegations against administrators or students who were present in 1996 when Manning was a student.It would only be relevant if the court found that Manning committed sexual assault, but plaintiffs have not given sufficient proof to support that, the lawyers wrote.
UT argues that the court should remove the allegations against Manning from the lawsuit and prohibit attempts to introduce evidence of the alleged Manning incident.
Doing this would streamline litigation because it would prevent delays and the jury from being mislead as well as not invade Naughright and Manning’s privacy, the lawyers said"
