From Dorsey - long - that he sent me from someone he knows!

From the DawgVent, guy says his buddy is a big Tenn booster who gave this info. Nothing earth-shattering or completely new, but a plausible summary.

Background Anecdote
A Vol beat writer (I’m leaving his name out) became a friend of Pruitt’s, who apparently had very few in Knoxville. A year or so back, he went to a golf tournament in Georgia with Pruitt and on the way back, Pruitt stopped at a bank to make a huge withdrawal. They and dropped it off with a contact to make direct payments throughout Georgia. Pruitt was paying these kids out of his own pocket in many instances. Beat writer obviously didn’t care too much, but was at pretty shocked at how brazen the Vols were being about. This story was told to my buddy by the writer.

Pay-for-Play

Niedermeyer and Pruitt were the ones paying players directly. Niedermeyer got sloppy and gave Brian Maurer his credit card to take recruits to a strip club. Brian got drunk and left the card there, so receipts were sent to Athletics to ensure they got paid.

News of the pay for play issues came out during TA&M week. To-oto-o and Eric Gray were told to to sit by compliance, but Pruitt said to hell with it, didn’t care about the compliance staff, and let them play. Pruitt laughed off compliance on multiple occasions apparently.

The reason the investigation happened is that Trey Smith's (OL) sister Ashley Smith, who is an Asst. AD for UT, heard a discussion between players and Niedermeyer about cash and informed a compliance officer. That officer had been getting **** on by Pruitt for not sitting players and heading warnings, so the officer went directly to Chancellor Donde instead of Pruitt or Fulmer, because Fulmer was also complicit. Donde proactively brought in the outside firm to try to mitigate the damage.

Fulmer was the confidential informant on Bama in 1995 which lead to their probation. This is why Bama has such intense disdain for Fulmer over everybody else. It's also this knowledge that lead UT to let him retire so they could pay his $1MM to keep his mouth shut.

UT has been trying to get Pruitt for cause since early in the season. They were trying to get him for not following COVID protocols, but couldn’t get anything to stick. Tee Martin leaked the investigation to the press because he hates Pruitt…context, Tee Martin was forced on Pruitt by Fulmer. Martin doesn’t actually coach, he just recruits and hangs out with players. He didn’t even show up to his first coaching meeting, and was found in his office asleep with Netflix on in the background. LOL. Pruitt hates him, and Tee hates Pruitt. Tee saw a chance to stick it to Pruitt in the public eye and did.

There have now been 50+ known major violations verified and rising.

And if all of this is true and the university cut the heads off that caused this, the NCAA should be satisfied you’d think and not blister us.

Thread starter doesn't have a freakin clue what they will do, I doubt they hammer them since they caught it and if they do the NCAA will have a lot of answering as to why LSU,North Carolina and Miami got nothing but a mere slap on the wrist when they caught them red handed. GBO!!!!

The same ncaa that let NC have their own bball player college within a college? Let newton and auburn slide due to them winning a NC?

All this is a little hard to believe. I HIGHLY doubt Pruitt would have any part in the money giving knowing he can delegate the 💰 and stay out of the violations. Saban would've taught him better than that!

“receipts were sent to Athletics to ensure they got paid”

This doesn’t make any sense.

You get a “receipt” for payment. “IF” you want to make sure something gets paid.....you send a bill.

“If” you gots a credit card.....bill gets paid. “If” their wondering.........they ain’t going to send the bill to the athletes department.......they contacting the guy who’s name is on it.

Never reveal your source. Insider 101 bro.

Oh..wait....I was in meetings all day yesterday and when I got out a friend of mine who is close to the administration sent me a telegram which I received while teeing off at the 3rd hole at Deadhorse Lake.

Even if this is true, partly true, or simply BS, there was no lack of institutional control. We (UT) found out about it, investigated it, and fired the guilty parties. If anything, the NCAA should give us a prize.

This! I think they should reward us extra scholarships and allow us to play in the Sugar bowl 2 straight years, regardless of record.
GBO!!

UGA posters as a breed are pretty stupid and prone to flights of fancy. They can’t individually think so it’s likely this work of fiction is a group project. The Steele Dossier is just as likely to be true.

Why in God’s name would we take a recruit to a Knoxville strip club??

I’m just trying to figure out how you use a credit card at a strip club? I’m old, married and haven’t been to one of these fine establishments in many years.
Do the strippers wear one of the card swipey things and nothing else? Do you run up a tab and pay at the end of the night? Someone help me out here.
GBO!!

Regarding the NCAA, we self reported no matter whose version or sources you buy these days. The NCAA is unofficially on the record no more SMU death penalties. We'll offer up our own punishment the same way we self reported and the NCAA will approve.

We’ll close down the juice bar for a week and only give each player 6 pair of phat @$$ Nike’s, instead of unlimited, for one whole semester.
GBO!!
