The disastrous Lane Kiffin Era has been officially recognized by the NCAA.
It doesn't appear Hurricane Lane will be causing much more damage at Tennessee though.
The Vols finally received their long-anticipated Notice of Allegations on Tuesday, and when released publicly for the first time by the athletic department on Wednesday, the broken rules all had a similar theme. The 16 impermissible phone calls, impermissible contact with recruits and the use of an intern to make contact with a high school staff all happened under Kiffin's watch - and the NCAA specifically targeted him with charges of failure to monitor and failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance.
UT could conceivably still face sanctions in the fallout of Kiffin's 14-month tenure with the program, but heading into its hearing with the NCAA Committee on Infractions on June 10 it appears the Southern California coach might have taken the penalties with him when he stunningly abandoned the Vols on Jan. 12, 2010. . . .

Yeah, the NCAA targeted Bruce Pearl, too, but that has nothing to do with serious stuff, like football.
The NCAA is a freakin’ JOKE. Period.
No one “fails upward” quite like Lane. He’s the king. Scandal? Losing seasons? Pffft. He brushes them off like annoying flies and lands even bigger contracts.
F up, move up...
Maybe, now, the NCAA can catch up with Scam Newton.
His wife.
