NCAA to Ex-Vols's coach Kiffin, What about those recruiting practices

Arthur Brown, father of the former Tennessee and future Kansas State running back, told ESPN.com's Joe Schad that NCAA investigators have asked to speak to his son regarding the way Kiffin handled recruiting while coaching the Vols.

"They said they want to talk about the recruiting practices of Tennessee under Kiffin," Arthur Brown said. "We have nothing to hide. We have no need to be deceptive. If we made a mistake I can say it would not have been intentional, but I think this is about more than Bryce."

The governing body of the NCAA's, interest is about more than Bryce.

Brown's father also said they had not yet talked to the NCAA because they were in the midst of preparing an appeal of UT head coach Derek Dooley's decision to deny Bryce a release from his scholarship. Regardless of the outcome, however, Bryce Brown will still enroll and attend classes at KSU later this month.

If Dooley's decision is not overturned on appeal, Brown would have to pay his way through school this year.
