Vols' Banks suspended for three games
ESPN.com - NCF - Vols' Banks suspended for three games: "KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee receiver James Banks remains suspended and will miss the season's first three games -- including a huge SEC East clash against rival Florida -- because he was cited for underage drinking and defying police orders to turn down his radio, coach Phillip Fulmer said Tuesday.
Banks, a junior from Indianapolis and last year's leading receiver, was indefinitely suspended in March for violating unspecified team rules. Fulmer said at the time Banks could rejoin the team if he accomplished certain goals.
'In the last two months, he made excellent strides in fulfilling requirements set by me to get off the indefinite suspension he was on,' Fulmer said in a statement. 'However, now we have another issue that has embarrassed this team and the university.'
Banks will miss games against UNLV, Florida and Louisiana Tech."
