Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[BarnesIsCaliparisDaddy]

We definitely beat Pitt and Purdue if he played.

Last year was incredibly unlucky on many fronts. Nothing Tennessee was in control over.

 

[Volnukem]

This sounds like great news actually.

 

[Rishvol]

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN SWEATING REALLY?!?!

 

[VolGee4]

So, is there anymore debate about how Plowman and Boyd handled it?

Tennessee football's recruiting violations under Jeremy Pruitt revealed

I know these are level 1 infractions but what they did really wasn’t that bad.

 

[Devo182]

Boomworthy. This was always about institutional control. The internal whistleblower found out, so our internal controls were functioning. It was caught, reported, and dealt with.

"In the notice of allegations, the NCAA credited Tennessee for self-reporting violations and its "exemplary cooperation" in the investigation. It also did not find the university lacked institutional control, a significant decision that likely removes the program from program-crippling levels of punishment."

Slap on the wrist? Awesome. GBO!

Absolutely not. I guess we as fans are preconditioned to expect incompetence at their levels of employment.

Sounds that way to me!

 

[Nash_Vol97]

And there it is.

Wait, I just read through it. This actually doesn’t seem that bad. For the NCAA to say we “set the standard” for how to internally handle the investigation it feels like this won’t be that bad at all. Bad publicity still; but no lack of institutional control is big.

Dang….. Pruitt had a ride or die….. had his wife paying recruits.

 

[Pridedad]

That is exactly what I was thinking

Let's put our NIL foot on the Gas pedal and go cruiting.

 

[Blake25p]

If I read that right it sounds like our self imposed sanctions is all we’ll get. Bad optics on the headline but if you read the article it’s actually good news and like I said, what they did really wasn’t that bad.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

This.

 

[BigSteve09]

If the news is dropping later on a Friday, that's usually by design. The classic "Friday News Dump" is traditionally reserved for, well, bad news.

NCAA related? In the past, most programs drop their NCAA findings or punishment news on Fridays.
Bru? Byron Young situation all over again?

Don't think it's recruiting because that news just kind of drops whenever it wants, but you never know.

Nothing like waiting for bad news. What a thrill.

Whew.

@99vawl you're like the doctor from the Simpsons

Added bonus. Since we set the standard on investigations, NCAA is now asking us to investigate Bama, UGA and Florida.

A wife that worked in compliance at FSU and Troy. She KNEW better and did it anyway haha

I suppose this means that McDonald's will survive as well.

What the hell!?! Mullen had been doing that at Florida for years!

@99vawl yo you had most of us scared shitless

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

Too bad. A ton of brilliant fiction out there to be had. A great alternative to sitting in front of the boob tube. Especially when you wind down before bed. Positively affects your quality of sleep.

Reading the mistborn series right now. On book two. Enjoying it.

 

[RikidyBones]

Also says they hold Pruitt more accountable than UT with his label placed on him.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Mods, can you please turn @99vawl's less than ideal post into a thread, then sticky it, then lock it. It should be a while before this one is lived down.

TIA...

 

[VolGee4]

@99vawl yo you had most of us scared shitless

His verbiage was spot on. "Less than ideal." I am pretty sure he has referenced oncoming "bad" news, too, so now we know.
