Those players will still get to wear an orange uniform with numbers. The numbers will just be black and across the front.

One UT player says he’s innocent
Jackson part of trio accused in attempted armed robbery
By Beth Rucker
Associated Press Writer
KNOXVILLE — Three freshmen Tennessee football players, including highly touted wide receiver recruit Nu’Keese Richardson and starting safety Janzen Jackson, were charged with attempted armed robbery Thursday morning.
Richardson, 18, and Jackson, 18, along with defensive back Mike Edwards, 18, and companion Marie Montmarquet, 22, were each charged with three counts of attempted armed robbery in connection with an incident at a gas station in an area known as “The Strip” at the edge of Tennessee’s campus.
Richardson was being held Thursday afternoon on a $19,500 bond. Edwards was released on a $19,500 bond, and Jackson was released on his own recognizance.

“Mr. Jackson vehemently asserts his innocence, and we hope that this will become apparent in the next 24 to 48 hours,” Jackson’s attorney Don Bosch said in a statement. It was not immediately known if Richardson and Edwards had attorneys.
The three players are the first arrested during the tenure of first-year coach Lane Kiffin, who on Thursday said he would not make any comment on the situation until he knew more.
“We’re gathering all the information so we don’t know exactly what happened. Unfortunately, there was an incident. We made it 11 months and 11 days without (any incidents). We’ll deal with the information as it comes in,” Kiffin said.
Kiffin also declined to say if he had spoken with any of the players or what kind of discipline they might be facing.
The three victims told police they were sitting in their parked vehicle just before 2 a.m. Thursday at a gas station near Tennessee’s campus when two males dressed in hooded jackets, one brandishing a handgun, approached and demanded, “Give us everything you’ve got.”
“The victims stated that they all presented their wallets to the suspects and showed them that they did not have money,” the police report said. “The victims stated that a third black male then approached and told the other two black males, ‘We’ve got to go.’ ”
The three suspects were seen leaving in a Toyota Prius, and police pulled over a vehicle matching the description nearby. Police spotted a pellet gun and hooded jackets and later found drug paraphernalia and a bag of what appeared to be marijuana.
Police say Montmarquet told them the drug paraphernalia and substance belonged to her and she was charged with simple possession. The victims identified Richardson and Edwards as the men who approached their vehicle.

Discipline? well I guess we'll see what Kiffin does.
I mean he made one of his players sit out for two quarters for a slacker game for a different offense. .... it was kind of a joke.

Ahhh, we need to lay-off irishsquid. Good guy! The discussion needs more participants. I would have figured there would have been more SEC football fans here on SB....
Isn't UT players getting involved in crime some kind of breach of copyright?
The FSU board of trustees should lodge an official complaint...

Maybe. There are hundreds of google hits of other reported incidences and mishaps. A Knoxville law firm no doubt works 24/7 to protect against such infrigements
"Are you sure it was one of our boys? How do you pronounce their names? Dadgummit!, I am going to have to run those rascals hard for that unless of course they fall under our international player rules" BB

Yeah, I was kinda wondering what happened to him also.
Ole Miss sure beat the **** out of the VOLS today. Their RB; #22, single-handedly embarrassed our defense.
