Heh. More violations. And even better, if you're following Kiffin on Twitter, you're not really getting Kiffin. It's an employee, a dumb employee!

Now you don't. A message posted on Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin's Twitter page on Tuesday was quickly deleted, but it may land the Vols in hot water with the NCAA. Kiffin's comment was about high school football recruit J.C. Copeland, a defensive lineman from Georgia. "It's a beautiful day in Knoxville, Tennessee today," Kiffin's "tweet" said. "I was so excited to hear that J.C. Copeland committed to play for the Vols today!" NCAA rules prohibit coaches from commenting on recruits. A spokesperson for the UT football team told WATE 6 Sports the comment wasn't actually posted by Kiffin. Sports Information Director John Painter said it was the work of an employee who was new to the job and a bit "gung-ho" about helping the coach. Painter said Kiffin usually updates his own Twitter page. The Vols will file the proper paperwork with the SEC office because the posting appears to be a secondary NCAA violation. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
