Absolutely wild given the current state of affairs.

Tennessee star linebacker Arion Carter has been suspended for two games by the NCAA because he returned to college after his agent had paid for a $427 flight to an NFL pre-draft training facility
quote:
Carter must sit out Tennessee’s first two games of the 2026 season against Furman (Sept. 5) and Georgia Tech (Sept. 12). He led the SEC with 7.6 tackles per game last season, earning all-conference honors.
quote:
Carter is being penalized for crossing what some see as a blurry line in the NCAA rulebook related to amateurism in the NIL era, when college athletes are paid millions of dollars and provided perks within the rules.
Carter repaid his agent for the flight cost and withdrew from the 2026 NFL Draft because of an injury suffered in the training session, but that didn’t satisfy the NCAA.
quote:
It found that he committed a Level III violation, a general term that the NCAA rulebook calls a basic breach of conduct. Level III violations are common and routinely reported by athletic departments at every school. They often result in minor penalties, but Carter’s multi-game suspension is among the harshest in that level of infraction.

Our leadership has no balls so they will follow the suspension.
It's literally like the NCAA wants to fold. The decisions they make have no logic

And Michigan can cheat, destroy evidence, lie and do everything wrong for 3 years and nothing happens.

What utter crap! This is off the field targeting. The NCAA doesn't like UT beating them in court, so they take it out on players whenever they get a chance.

Tennessee leadership better fight this.

So I'm clear, if Carter had paid for it initially it would be fine? But because his agent paid and then he repaid it's an issue?

Did that with Joey Aguilar and it didn’t work. Probably the only court case that the NCAA had won in the last five years.

This shite is so stupid. With all of the bullshite going on in college athletics, this is the shite they're doing. What a fricking waste. I hope he beats this shite then goes on to have a great year when they aren't playing LSU.
