do anything about Orgeron telling kids at UT to not enroll in classes and come to USC within minutes of Kiffin's press conference? Seems to me that telling an early enrollee not to enroll or not to go to class is pretty shady?

I agree. That was an outrage. I remember Calipari brought a bunch of his recruits from Memphis to Kentucky with him. I don't know if the rules are different for college basketball but something should be done.

And the LA Times reported at 7:30 the following "Coach O USC football admistrative advisor Terrel Ray said Tuesday night that Orgeron is already in USC's football offices tonight, reviewing film and already getting to work."

Was Orgeron in TN or actually LA?

Hopefully they'll just add some more penalties to USC since he's their problem now!

well to be fair, the report said both

however the report also said that some recruits were in the UT locker room and they had their cell phones on speaker

I think it was the right thing to do. You have a dilemma of conflicting duties here. As soon as those kids start class they are bound to TN. They cannot transfer without sitting out a year. A coaching change will not get them a waiver. Yes, these athletes should decide where to go on the basis of the school itself, but the reality is that coaches matter. Those that want to go to TN regardless will go. This gives those that this change matters a chance to reflect and find out if they fit into the new coach's schemes. Regardless of O's motivation, this is the best outcome.

thats pitaful USC will probably get another violation thrown on them, and tennesse too, if this happens, this is so pitiful. If players are enroled at Tennesse they must sit out a year if they want to play somewhere else, unless its a D2 school
