One of the football violations led to defensive backs coach Willie Martinez being suspended for the 2015 season opener due to impermissible off-campus contact with a prospect during a spring evaluation period. Tennessee also got a 10-day reduction of spring 2016 evaluation days, and Martinez had additional limits in his off-campus recruiting.
