Pruitt sucks. His lawyer probably does too.
I say if you can burn it down then light it up. Do it. Stop talking.
People who talk a big game rarely can play a big game.
Believe what you will but you are wrong and Pruitt would be given the opportunity to prove he was singled out for his actions while the same behavior by other coaches was permitted.
That’s the thing. Anybody who has been in business for any amount of time, been an ass to their HOA, refused to pay a camera traffic ticket, or had a disagreement with the IRS gets these letters. I’ve probably received 50 letters from chest pounding lawyers in my time, and all I ever do is hand them over to another lawyer. 99% of the time, I never hear another word about it. This kind of thing is common.Yeah, I got one of those letters from a guys lawyer years ago, and I still got my $$.
Thank you, I was just about to post Michael Avenatti. Avenatti was arrested for trying to extort 25 million out of Nike by threatening to expose embarrassing secrets. I'm not an attorney and don't know where the legal line is, but there are, to the lay person like me at least, similarities to the approach Pruitt's lawyer is using, it seems.This has all of the feel of the Avenatti shakedown, and I can’t believe that a seasoned attorney would throw down like he did here.

I get that, but there is a right way and a wrong way to do anything. From the perspective of an average person, he is dancing dangerously close to the fire line.He's trying to capitalize on the recent news of the NCAA removing David Beaty from the investigation at Kansas.
He wants to try to cast UT firing Pruitt in the same light as Kansas trying to retroactively fire Beaty with cause after initially firing him without cause.

Excellent point. We have a short memory society. Probably worth the risk.Beaty was his client, Pruitt is also his client. He's just trying to do his job as an attorney. Remember, he gets paid regardless of what happens, he just gets paid more if UT capitulates or if it goes to trial; it's a win-win-win for him.
The only risk he has is the reputation hit he takes if he ends up having the case dismissed outright for lack of standing/evidence, or if it actually made it to trial and he had to take the inevitable 'L'.
He presented his extortion offense and then said we are willing to settle. UT said take a hike. Pruitt is on real shaky ground as far as being able to get any money from UT if they have the evidence needed that voids the contract. I think they have plenty and everyone will get to hear it all if they Pruitt decide to go forward.
please tell me how many titles of ANY kind (including division crowns) UT has won since CPF, the much ballyhooed warhorse of old, roamed the sidelines?? I'll hang up and listen.....
