Bredesen: UT needs to clean up sports program

Gov. Phil Bredesen says the University of Tennessee needs to clean up the sports program after two recent incidents involving the arrest of student athletes.
Bredesen, who is chairman of the UT Board of Trustees, told The Chattanooga Times Free Press he hopes to see improvement in the athletic program’s image.
In November, two freshman football players were dismissed in connection with an alleged attempted robbery with a pellet gun. And earlier this month, three men’s basketball players were suspended and one was dismissed after their arrest on misdemeanor gun and drug charges.
UT men’s athletics director Mike Hamilton also said that the incidents give a negative impression about the university.
