The University of Tennessee is investigating whether any NCAA rules were violated when basketball player Renaldo Woolridge was provided free use of a Knoxville bar in order to film a music video.The Vols are already under investigation for recruiting violations centering around coach Bruce Pearl.
A report in the Knoxville News-Sentinel indicated that Woolridge was granted exclusive access to a part of Amsterdam Bar and Grill. The use of the space, according to the newspaper, was given for free in support of Tennessee athletics.
Woolridge is averaging just over a point and a rebound in eight games this season.
UT athletics spokesmen Jimmy Stanton denied further comment, and, unfortunately, there is no footage of the alleged music video.
