Ex-Vols Bryce Brown questioned by NCAA

Kansas State Wildcat Bryce Brown was interviewed Thursday for roughly two hours by the NCAA. Brown was asked primarily about former Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin and recruiting practices by him and his staff wihle at Tennessee.
"The NCAA has asked us not to speak to the specific questions that Bryce was asked about their investigation," said Bryce's father Arthur Brown. "What I will say is that at the time Bryce was being recruited, he was already under investigation by the NCAA."
Brown's interview is a part of many inquiries by the NCAA regarding Kiffin's nature and timing of contact with recruits.
This isn't the first time the NCAA has spoken with Brown, either. Before committing to Tennessee, the NCAA looked into whether money was improperly raised so Brown could visit college campuses while in high school.
Tennessee should be receiving a letter of inquiry from the NCAA in the coming days and Kiffin is expected to interview about recruiting practices as well.
Since leaving Knoxville, Brown has appealed Vols coach Derek Dooley's decision to not to release him from scholarship. If he can't get a release, Brown's parents will have to pay his tuition for 2010.
