Welcome to BabyVols

From the NY Times:

The N.C.A.A. is conducting a wide-ranging investigation into the University of Tennessee’s football recruiting practices, according to interviews with several prospects, their family members and high school administrators. A significant part of the investigation is focused on the use of recruiting hostesses who have become folk heroes on Tennessee Internet message boards for their ability to help lure top recruits.

And all this time I thought SEC football was so superior because they had faster and stronger players.

Oh come on. This is a real stretch to call this a violation. This happens all the time. When I was in high school, tons of hot college chicks came to my games to cheer me on. (well, would you believe maybe two girls who were thinking about going to college?)
(ok, then would you believe my little sister and her friend from middle school?)

phil,

Just admit it, they weren't girls and you were in the band.

GoBlueBob said...

Since they are "volunteer" hostesses, is it still a violation?


I know this is lame but I cannot help myself.

whetstonebuck said...

Depends. Do you feel violated or just sleepy?
