Tennessee Coach Josh Heupel Explodes Over Controversial Suspension: What’s Really Behind the Decision?
“The ruling that came out from the NCAA, the two-game suspension, I truly believe is bulls**t,” Heupel said.
In the predraft process, Carter’s agent paid for $427 worth of slights. When the Volunteer linebacker decided to return to Tennessee, he repaid the flight to the agent, and was honest with the NCAA about the process. Still, the NCAA said he committed a Level III violation. Previously, a memo had been sent to all players about benefits from agents.
“You, your family or your friends are not permitted to receive any benefits from an agent,” the NCAA memo said. “Examples of material benefits include money, transportation, dinner, clothes, cell phones, jewelry, etc. Please note that benefits may also include, but are not limited to, activities such as tryout arrangements with a professional team and coordinating tryout schedules.”
