Twitter post equals violation by Vols, Kiffin

As if Lane Kiffin hasn't had enough publicity lately, an assistant (on his first day on the job) posted information about a recruit that had signed with Tennessee earlier that day.

NCAA regulations require that a university not mention unsigned recruits by name or promote them as such.

It's a simple violation and one that the university will simply self-report and receive a slap on the wrist for.

Lane still hasn't figured it out yet, huh?

I would think that before your first day on the job you would be aware of what was allowed, especially regarding recruits and various violations.

He should just HIRE someone to explain the rules to him and his staff. Maybe a one day seminar or something

This is more a case of bad timing than anything. A story like this probably would not even be a story most times, except that the Vols football program has created a saga that the media can't get enough of. The more things like this pop up, the more pressure there will be on Kiffin to win right away.
