Tennessee plans to self-report another NCAA secondary violation after a high school recruit was mentioned by name Tuesday on Lane Kiffin's Twitter page.

Supposively, it wasn't Lane Kiffin who posted the "tweet", but an employee in the football office.
NCAA rules prohibit coaches and athletic department employees from commenting about unsigned prospects or publicizing them in any way.
This is the second time under Kiffin that Tennessee has had to self-report a violation involving an unsigned prospect. In February, Kiffin mentioned running back Bryce Brown by name on a radio talk show in Knoxville and referred to him as a great player.
