All Tennessee scholarship players will
be academically eligible to participate in the Dec. 31 Chick-fil-A
Bowl.
The Volunteers wrapped up their fall semester on Dec. 10, and a
Tennessee spokesman says none were declared ineligible after final
grades were reported.
Coach Lane Kiffin says he stresses to the Vols that if they
don't focus on their academic responsibilities they won't be
allowed to participate in football, something he acknowledges is
many players' top priority.
Tennessee travels to Atlanta on Friday afternoon to begin
preparations to face No. 12 Virginia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
