The NCAA imposes a two-game suspension on Tennessee linebacker Arion Carter tied to a $427 flight, according to multiple reports. Each source says the discipline is connected to the circumstances surrounding the flight and that the suspension will remove Carter from Tennessee’s first two games of the season. One outlet also notes that Tennessee is protesting the NCAA’s decision, framing the suspension as a potential loss of the team’s top returning defender for the season’s opening portion. The reports present the suspension as an NCAA action resulting from the matter involving the flight during the NFL pre-draft process, though they do not provide additional technical details beyond the payment amount and the duration of the ban. As a result, Carter’s availability for Tennessee’s early-season schedule is limited while the protest proceeds.
