Vols: 6 players ineligible for bowl

[stonebreakerwasgod]

The Vols' leading receiver, Lucas Taylor, is ineligible to play against Wisconsin on Jan. 1 as well as reserve receiver Kenny O'Neal, reserve defensive back Ricardo Kemp and freshman linebacker Chris Donald. ESPN.com reported on Thursday that defensive starters Demonte Bolden and Rico McCoy failed to meet the necessary academic requirements to play in the Outback Bowl, too.

Taylor caught 73 passes for 1,000 yards and five touchdowns this season and was quarterback Erik Ainge's favorite target. Kemp was a regular in the Vols' "Mustang" package at cornerback when they went to six defensive backs.

Bolden started 12 of 13 games at defensive tackle, while McCoy started all 13 games at weak side linebacker and was second to Jerod Mayo on the team with 106 total tackles.

God damn man. at this rate every team is going to have suspensions. You dont see this kind of shit at Notre Dame and if it DOES happen you get kicked out of school not just a slap in the wrist like all the other panzy ass colleges do.

I wish we could change the order of our picks until the games have been played.
