Why Vols were suspended
Six Tennessee players have been ruled academically ineligible to participate in the Outback Bowl against Wisconsin. Defensive end Demonte' Bolden, linebacker Rico McCoy, wide receiver Lucas Taylor, linebacker Chris Donald, defensive back Ricardo Kemp and wide receiver Kenny O'Neal will not participate in the New Year's Day game at Tampa, Fla. "We have every resource available through our academic center for academic success by our athletes in all of our sports," UT Coach Phillip Fulmer said. "In most of these cases, it was simply the student-athletes not being accountable and doing their work." Fulmer said Taylor was an exception. "In Lucas' case, however, he passed enough hours but a new NCAA policy that went into effect this fall made him ineligible," Fulmer said.

Espnhouse, you probably haven't even spent any time in TN. I can't even imagine what makes you better than they are. A good imagination maybe?
