[NCAA Rumors] UT's Coach Dooley Reports Violation For Posting On Recruits Facebook

[themush]

Turns out Derek Dooley knows how to Facebook. The Tennessee coach even has it on his mobile phone, but has, on at least one occasion, pushed the wrong button. For that, he was forced to report an NCAA secondary violation, according to documents obtained by the News Sentinel. Dooley violated NCAA bylaw 13.4.1.2 on June 3 when he inadvertently posted a message on four-star high school tight end Nick O’Leary’s Facebook wall. According to the bylaw, “electronically transmitted correspondence that may be sent to a prospective student-athlete (or the prospective student-athlete’s parents or legal guardians) is limited to electronic mail and facsimiles.” This secondary violation, coupled with another recently learned self-reported transgression involving 26 football players receiving improper benefits from Bar Knoxville, constitute the first known violations involving the UT football team since Dooley took over as coach in January.
