Athletic Quotes
It is easy to lose focus if you are not grounded academically and you are not continually reminded of the athletic department's proper place.

Changing Quotes
It doesn't surprise me. Again, I'm not saying it doesn't surprise me because it is Tennessee. I am just not convinced that that sort of special treatment -- changing of grades, making sure kids are eligible as opposed to really educating them -- isn't going on at a lot more places than Tennessee. I don't think Tennessee is unique in that regard.
