Yeah, I was kinda surprised not to see his name on The Rock. Darned NCAA spoilsports! The Vols need all the recruiting help they can get right now. Too bad the NCAA no-fun types couldn't have winked just this once!

Correction: This had nothing directly to do with the NCAA. The UT compliance officer had The Rock painted over as a preemptive measure, knowing that it would have been an infraction as it was. And yes, it is a secondary violation, but I'm pretty sure the Vols are still under some kind of NCAA probation, so leaving The Rock as it was would have been a kind of in-your-face gesture if UT authorities had left it up.
