The U.S Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights is investigating recent allegations of sexual violence involving football players at the University of Tennessee. Six players on Tennessee's roster last year, including A.J. Johnson, Michael Williams, Riyahd Jones, Marlin Lane, Von Pearson and one other player yet to be named have all been accused of sexual assault.

Tennessee joins Vanderbilt and Florida State University among schools being involved in government probing. Former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston's allegations of sexual assault have been talked about at length by ESPN's Paul Finebaum on his daily radio show, "The Paul Finebaum Show." Danny Kanell, a former FSU quarterback and fellow ESPN employee wonders if the host will spend as much time on Tennessee's investigation, as he did the Winston investigation.
Given Tennessee's level as a football program and the players that are involved, it is probably unlikely.
