Three Tennessee Volunteers Busted

Another case of college athletes gone wrong happened this weekend, this time in Knoxville, TN. Three Tennessee football players, including starting running back Arian Foster were arrested for disorderly conduct and underage drinking, after trying to drink off their loss to LSU this past weekend.

Coach Phillip Fulmer has disiplined the players for their actions:

Foster will be suspended for the first half of the Arkansas game on Saturday. Fullback David Holbert will be suspended for the entire game. And safety Antonio Wardlow will be suspended for the Arkansas game and the Vanderbilt game on Nov. 18.

Foster was arrested, and about 10 minutes later, police found Holbert and Wardlow in an altercation with each other outside, DeBusk said.

"The defendant was yelling and attempting to fight in the parking lot and street. The defendant squared off with another male and began to throw punches," according to the affidavit.

Holbert was advised of his rights and "admitted to drinking alcoholic beverages inside of Good Fellas," according to the report.

Wardlow was charged with public intoxication because he had an odor of alcohol, "slurred speech and an unsteady walk," police said.

What constitutes a one player from being suspended a half a game, a full game, and for two games. If we had to guess, it' s because of the amount they played before the incident. Foster is a starter, so it's as if the Vols, don't want to miss him from their lineup.....at least it appears that way. It appears that the extra public intoxication charge to Wardlow did him in and gained him the extra game suspension by Fulmer.

"The three young men who were arrested let their teammates, coaches, administration and great fans down," Fulmer said. "Their behavior is an example ... (of) when immature male ego mixes with alcohol and stupidity."
