A Tennessee footballer did not leave the team in Saturday's embarrassing defeat against Florida, but was asked to leave the sidelines after refusing to enter the match.
Volunteer coach Jeremy Pruitt said he acted after linebacker Quart'e Sapp said he was not going to play, according to Knoxville News Sentinel reports.
"He would not enter the game when he was asked to enter," Pruitt said, according to the newspaper. "I do not know how things were done before, but when you tell someone to come in and they refuse to come in, we will not do it here. I asked him to leave, he did not leave, I asked him to leave. "
Pruitt was asked about Sapp, 21, after the rumor that Sapp had left the team, according to Saturday Down South's website.
Tennessee was down against the Gators by an overwhelming 47-21.

Pruitt is covered when he was asked about the junior's future with the team.
"Well, I do not think the time has come to discuss it. But for me, there are no secrets, "he said. "That's what it is."
The coach said that Sapp has never been a problem in Tennessee.
"Since I've been here, Quart'e has been a great ambassador for the game, doing everything we asked him to do," Pruitt said.
Sapp appeared to be a starting linebacker in the spring, but was beaten by two teammates, according to the News Sentinel. He is a superior reserve. He did not make any public comment on the incident Saturday.
Buffalo quarterback Bills Vontae Davis, 30, made the headlines at half-time in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
