NCAA Will Hammer VOLS

The NCAA needs to punish the coaches, not the team left behind. Coaches should be banned for working in college for certain periods of time. The new coaches and players, which had nothing to do with anything, always pay for others mistakes. This does nothing to deter coaches from going to another school and doing the same things.

I'm waiting on the NCAA interview with Pruitt, When he tells them "I've done this everyplace I've coached. Alabama, FSU, UGA, etc..."

Or he tells Tennessee “pay me my money or I go to the COI and media and say ‘I know what this booster did and this booster and that booster and I also know what’s going on with your hoops and baseball programs”

Although, if he does that he would most likely get blacklisted from coaching in college and the pros.

Pruitt is a die hard bammer, and I would doubt he didn't care about the consequences of his action because its UT. He can always go to the nfl . I think he would have a harder time doing this at bama, even though they're allowed to play by different rules. I can see him saying IDGAF cause its UT, I can get a DC job in the NFL if worse comes to worse

I mean no one will touch a coach that flipped on everyone and aired all the dirty laundry when he was 100% at the center of it. The NFL knows how dirty college football is.

lol, you wouldn’t be saying this unless we just reported 50+ egregious violations.

It has to be both. Otherwise there’s zero chance of institutional control. You’d have massive, widespread cheating. More than we already do.

Coaches already have a huge incentive to cheat despite it potentially being career ending.

The NCAA could pass out death penalties and lawsuits to recapture profits built on cheating, AND it would still occur, albeit more sophisticated. Just too much money to be made.

Even with a salary cap, the NCAA would have cheating. Just too many recruits and programs.

Missouri is evidence that working WITH the NCAA gets you no leniency. They were open about improper tutor behavior and got overly punished considering the infractions.

UT, meanwhile, has made our OWN public spectacle of our infractions. Public perception has to be that we did some really egregious sh*t. The NCAA will have a huge spotlight on them to send a message about what happens when you completely disregard the rules.

Face it. We’re F*cked.

If you try very hard, you could be entertaining. As it is, you’re just slightly annoying.

But once again, I invite you to seek your own kind. Posting on a rivals board is just kinda pitiful.

But, you be you, ‘Kay?

That's it? Middle school?

You really are a needy person.

Once again, there are any number of uga sites for you to share your need for affirmation and passive aggressiveness. Please feel free to leave and go explore them.

Mostly? Just feel free to leave.

Not saying "don't worry, be happy," but, this is not a "death penalty" case. It will hurt, not kill.

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.

Vols gonna get hammered

If Tennessee gets hammered and the LSU basketball program got away with paying players, we need to raise hell!
