According to a report in the Knoxville News Sentinel, Tennessee has appealed the initial verdict on prized recruit Bryce Brown's eligibility.
The only problem is, the school is not saying what that verdict is and what type of punishment, if any, could come from it.
At issue is the running back's amateur status as the NCAA investigated possible illegal benefits gained by Brown while he was in high school.
UT's recruitment of Brown was not a part of the NCAA probe. And for those who missed or skipped over that last sentence, let me repeat myself: UT's recruitment of Brown was not a part of the NCAA probe.
While the paper did not specify what the verdict was, they did lay out the potential punishment parameters that could be slapped on Brown for whatever issues the organization dug up.
UT officials wouldn't comment on the specifics of the ruling, however, a repayment of any extra benefits Brown may have received when he was in high school and a one- or two-game suspension at UT are possible, but that is considered a worst-case scenario. The SEC Rocks!
