NCAA probe over, we will self-impose penalties

This will sound red neck and trigger happy….I apologize in advance…..but after UT conducted their own investigation, I’d share that information with the NCAA as a courtesy and after they reviewed it, should they elude to placing some sort of discipline outside what UT is or isn’t going to self impose, I’d tell the stupid SOB’s at the NCAA to tie a long rope to a tree and take turns pissing up it. The NCAA is an absolute embarrassment to itself and college athletes. When players pass fake classes (see UNC basketball) and the university gets away with it and the NCAA basically says “nothing to see here” then they can **** all the way off

It’s important to note that the NCAA has not made a final ruling on Tennessee’s case. In fact, even though they have been involved in the investigation process, the University has neither received a notice of allegation nor is their case scheduled to be heard. It will likely not for some time given how slow the infractions committee works. The reality is that no one is sure what the Infractions Committee is even going to look like in the coming months. Tennessee made it clear from the onset that they were working hand-in-hand with the NCAA in the investigation and are continuing to do so.

UNC got away because they didn't break an actual NCAA rule - per the bylaws set by and agreed to all universities (members).

No matter how bad it looked - all infraction committees (which are hardly the "NCAA" - they range from university admin to faculty I believe even a student-athlete is on some committees, to attorneys and such) can only rule based on the bylaws that are set and agreed to by the members (universities).

Besides - if the NCAA says you're banned from the postseason - there's really nothing you can do about it. It would also look pretty stupid, especially considering our allegations - I mean why even have rules then? We have to out on our big boy pants - we are a part of the membership agreement as all members are and if we expect punishment for others, then we must for ourselves too.

Next time we just shouldn't hire a Bammer. That simple really 😅

How is the NCAA becoming irrelevant?

Ya know...people say it every 5 years...so they have to be right eventually 🥴

I'm not even sure what a different kind of organizing body would look like or how it would be different - it would have the universities as the members making all the decisions. All the crap rules and stuff...it's the universities - especially ADs and HC - and always has been. Not wanting to pay players...not wanting kids to have freedom of movement...who do people think wanted that all along?

Just remember. dont use whataboutism when dealing with the NCAA. What another school did or did not do, is irrelevant. If you try to compare penalties you will go crazy.

Its kinda like when 6 cars are speeding down the interstate at 100mph and the police pull you over.. They dont care about the other cars or what they were doing, even if its more severe than you. You are getting a ticket, they arent.

LSU did along with Arizona, Louisville and Auburn along with a few more schools. These schools was being investigated by the FBI for violations.

UT trying to get ahead of this after spilling the beans on themselves and somewhat dictating they're done with the investigation MIGHT make the recruiting efforts a little smoother.
