SEC blog ESPN.com's Chris Low writes about all things SEC in his conference blog. • Blog network: College Football Nation Freshman safety Janzen Jackson, who also stands charged in the case, will continue to be barred from team activities while Kiffin awaits additional information. "After extensive and thorough research of the situation over the last four days and considering various disciplinary options, I've decided it's in the best interest of our program to remove Nu'Keese and Mike," Kiffin said in a statement. "As I've said many times before, we hold our student-athletes to an extremely high standard on and off the field. Our student-athletes must be responsible members of society, and this type of conduct will not be tolerated." The three 18-year-olds are accused of demanding money from three people at a gas station near Tennessee's campus early Thursday morning. They were arrested shortly after the incident but have all been released from jail. "We want a positive culture for our student-athletes that allows them to succeed in the classroom, on the field, and in life after college," Kiffin said in his statement. "My hope is that these two young men will learn from their terrible decision. Clearly, their actions have no place in our program."
