The NCAA is probing Tennessee's football recruiting practices, according to several prep prospects, their family members and high school administrators, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

Much of the investigation is centered on the use of recruiting "hostesses" who have helped the program convince prep prospects to choose Tennessee by befriending prep prospects and attending their high school games, according to the report. Because the hostesses are considered an extension of the university, it could be considered a violation of NCAA rules if they helped recruit prospective athletes off campus.

The NCAA appears to be strongly interested in Tennessee's use of hostesses -- students who are part of a university group that hosts prospective students on campus visits, including athletes. It was not clear whether the university sent the hostesses to visit the football players, the newspaper reported.

In one case, hostesses attended a football game at James F. Byrnes High School in Duncan, S.C., one of the nation's best high school programs, where at least three potential Tennessee recruits were playing, according to the report.

Marcus Lattimore, a running back who had made an unofficial visit to Tennessee but was not interested in attending the school, said the hostesses brought signs, including one that read, "Come to Tennessee," according to the report.

Two of Lattimore's high school teammates, Brandon Willis and Corey Miller, have orally committed to Tennessee. Lattimore said the hostesses were "real pretty, real nice and just real cool" and thinks they had "a lot" of influence in his teammates making oral commitments, according to the report.

"I haven't seen no other schools do that," Lattimore said, according to the report. "It's crazy."

Poor Lane Kiffin. He can't cough wrong without the NCAA jammed up his ass. Everyone uses hostesses. Raider Recruiters, Dixie Dolls, etc. That said, I've never heard of these chicks going to high school football games but to me that just means the Vols stepped it up a notch. Are we going to blast Lane Kiffin for his inginuity. I think that's a bad move. So, he sent a few coeds on the road to hold a sign and deliver a handjob. What's so wrong with that? I just hope Layla Kiffin got in there from time to time and showed the girls how to swing.
