The Vol Rap Sheet

March 2004 – Punter Britton Colquitt was suspended by Coach Phillip Fulmer following his fourth alcohol-related incident in the last six months – underage possession.

March 2004 – Receiver James Banks was suspended indefinitely from the team following a verbal altercation with a female at the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center.

June 2004 – Tight end Victor McClure was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest following an incident at the T-Rec Center on campus. He shoved religious studies professor John Hodges, ran around the building and began to take his clothes off and throw them into the air, according to a UT police report.

A Knoxville Police Department report said Kristina Bennett had a cut lip and blood on her clothing. Bennett told officers that McClure had been drinking and that they began arguing.

McClure had been on medication and under the care of doctors.

December 2004 – Banks, already on suspension, was dismissed from the team for violating UT's drug policy. He submitted a fraudulent test sample and refused to retake the test.

McDaniel is suspended from the team and faces other possible disciplinary action from the university.

March 2005 – Daniel Brooks was accused of throwing a punch at a fraternity party on campus, inciting a brawl. Brooks was not arrested or charged, but he was named in a UT police report as a suspect. The matter is still under review by student judicial affairs, and Brooks was not suspended for any of spring practice but will be suspended for the first two games of next season (Sept. 3 against UAB and Sept. 17 at Florida) for his involvement in a series of incidents.

April 2005 – Quarterback Brent Schaeffer and receiver Bret Smith were suspended indefinitely from the team after being charged with assaulting a fellow student at Clement Hall.  The two Tennessee football players were charged with aggravated assault yesterday in connection with a March brawl between several football players and fraternity members at a party on campus.  Jerod Mayo and Robert Ayers became the 10th and 11th different Vols football players to run afoul of the law in the past 13 months, and the third and fourth to be hit with assault charges in one week.  Ayers is suspended from the team indefinitely.  Fulmer believes Mayo was misidentified and was not part of the brawl.  He remains on the team.
