The NCAA is probing Tennessee's football recruiting practices, according to several prep prospects, their family members and high school administrators.

 

Much of the investigation, first reported by The New York Times, is centered on the use of recruiting "hostesses" who have helped the program convince prep prospects to choose Tennessee by befriending prep prospects and attending their high school games.

 

Because the hostesses -- a part of the university's Orange Pride student ambassador group -- are considered an extension of the university, it could be considered a violation of NCAA rules if they helped recruit prospective athletes off campus.

 

In a statement issued Wednesday afternoon, the university comfirmed that the NCAA was investigating and said the adminstration and athletics departments are cooperating fully.

Uh oh. -_-
