Fulmer's right about the uncertainties and issues going forward. The courts disrupted a longstanding relationship between education, both state and private, and athletics. They've created a system of professional sports where the athletes are recruited and paid by third parties who have nothing to do with the HS and universities or their athletic programs.
There's no example I'm aware of a stable, functioning sports league that works like this, and this one won't work for long either. It'll change to something else and leave a lot of damage and rich lawyers in its wake. The continued destruction of amateur athletics will have a deleterious impact on education and society, IMO.

Paid twice to go away and he still want go away. LOL
We have paid the price for the rocket scientist that fired him and whose best shot was Kiffin. I had no problem with his job being in play, but don't see a path to the desolation we experienced between his tenures if intelligently replaced with a plan other than the THIS IS TENNESSEE that was used.
No question his hiring of Pruitt was in the Kiffin class as well. But he had a week to get it done, not the situation his boss operated within. But the bell cow is the bell cow and he knew that too. I bet he and his bosses did not like his chances of finding a worthy replacement as the guy that hired Pruitt without the smoke being cleared. But his wins and his NC are still intact along with his Pruitt and OC hire warts. Gotta take the bad with the good, the net is what it is. Love the early returns with his replacement, bet CPF does too. His best chance to avoid being responsible for a Hamilton length plague.
You win the prize with using “deleterious” in a valid sentence!Fulmer's right about the uncertainties and issues going forward.
