KNOXVILLE — Tennessee has been informed that star football players Jesse Mahelona and Arron Sears will not miss any games after UT reported violations of NCAA rules regarding extra benefits to the Southeastern Conference office. The rules violations involved furniture the two Vols players received from a Crossville, Tenn., store after a fire swept through their off-campus apartment on March 13, destroying most of their furniture.

Brad Bertani, UT's compliance director, would not discuss the specifics of the case, but said the SEC office has notified UT that Mahelona and Sears would not face suspensions from any games.

A third player, walk-on Brett Weyman, was also named in UT's report. Weyman shared the apartment with Mahelona and Sears.
