Vanderbilt has identified the four players dismissed from the team for an incident last month that is being investigated by police as a possible sex crime. Coach James Franklin released a statement Monday saying defensive back Brandon Banks, safety Cory Batey, receiver Jaborian "Tip" McKenzie and tight end Brandon Vandenburg are no longer on the roster after violating team rules. Vanderbilt dismissed the players June 29 and kicked them off campus for an incident being investigated by the Metro Nashville Police Department's sex crimes unit, but university officials had not identified them.
