I misread this at first and thought Tennessee was giving scholarships for tractor pulls. It's plausible.

Probably something that happens more often than we know. That said, disgraceful. And what can be wrong with college sports. And while I don't believe everything I read, this seemed a well researched piece that involved more than one player.

I don't like much that I've heard / read about the Tennessee athletic program of late, and for all the BY's tendency to sometimes crap about all things Pat, I think she ran a program where the players were held to very high standards but were treated fairly by those standards. Football and men's basketball always seemed a bit shady to me. I tend to root for Tennessee Softball, but admit I once read a very critical article about the program; OTH most things I read are pretty good.

What is it with Penn State Coaches? Sullivan in this instance. Rene Portland also withdrew scholarships, not to mention her other, um, narrow views about sexual orientation of recruits/players. There was also that fellow named Sandusky. . .

There weren't too many of us Tennessee fans that were excited about Sullivan. There are not many of us happy with how other programs have been treated or dealt with. There are some people very critical of the Weekly's but for the most part many people love how they run the program and the players seem to have a great relationship with them and there is a strong alumni presence. It seems as if the basketball program is being handled with extreme care in comparison to others because Hart, Weekly and the other AD staff know the unholy hell that would be unleashed if they tried to tamper with anything Pat built. They already have their hands full with the Lady Vols logo issue.

Wow. I feel dirty just reading that article.

Beth Sullivan = scum

Very distasteful.

Apparently there's no shame. No decency either.

This is a very disappointing situation; I don't know anything abut the site with the report, though.

That is a sad read. What a dreadful human being. How does she sleep at night?

former ESPN executive started the website... with the support of ESPN

Interestingly, J.J. Clark, the former UT head coach mentioned favorably in the article, is now coaching at UConn!

Sickening. Unfortunately this sort of thing happens too often in women's basketball as well.
