New NCAA constitution could mean Tennessee football will avoid bowl ban (yahoo.com)

"That means, when possible, the NCAA won’t directly punish current coaches and players for violations committed by coaches and players no longer in the program. Narrowing the use of a postseason ban is a big part of that change.
It could apply to UT because it cleaned house a year ago, firing Pruitt, two assistant coaches and seven additional staff members when it announced an internal investigation into alleged recruiting violations."

In hindsight, TN was only doing what many others were already doing more discreetly. Any stiff penalties would be wildly unfair.

And given this new language, maybe Spurrier and Florida can finally get credit for their 1990 SEC title?

They weren't going to bowl ban TN anyway. Look at the MCB fan attendance. That's $$$
NCAA has lost in court recently, schools ignoring them and they see the way the game is going and trying to stay relevant before some other organization forms for pro college sports.
That's why they're changing their constitution. I don't think UT is going to get any punishment either other than maybe a small fine to make it look like the NCAA is doing something.
You look at all the things UT has done with the Pruitt situation, if the NCAA comes down and tries to hand out stiff penalties, UT should file a lawsuit saying the NCAA penalty practices aren't enforced equally across the board and some other legal mumbo jumbo. There's already proof of that. Sports writers will start talking about it. NCAA doesn't want to risk losing that court case as I'm sure other schools will sign on to the suit.

That's my 2 cents. I'll hang up and listen.

They might get it somewhere....But if you are looking for it here? Good luck finding a cosigner. With any luck, you might get the spare tire for a Yugo.

We've already been punished tremendously by the NCAA drawing this thing out so long. It's time for this purgatory to end

Also cleaned house with the AD being told to "either step down or be fired."

NCAA will do whatever the conference allows them to do. They want some form of power going forward and honestly at this point the conferences don’t need them; SEC will be the super conference with most the power and money in football, if they endorse the NCAA as having any power going forward then the rest of the conferences will as well.

The penalty will look severe on paper but will mostly already have been dealt with by our previous self imposed scholarship reductions.

if that's true, then why limit scholarships (if that's true as well)?

Pay the fines and cut the dead weight and move on.

If they try to punish us further after us doing enough punishing ourselves we better give them the fight of a lifetime. I cannot see how the NCAA would try add stiffer penalties. It would be a farce if they did. GBO!

We need a better governing body. Either the NCAA and it’s rules need to be revised and streamlined and built to act faster to problems and rulings. Also the NCAA has been way too selective on who they punish and who skates. We need a group that makes good sense rules and enforces them fairly. We need a group big enough to handle it. College football has enough money to put a better bigger governing body in place. Make common sense rules and streamline the rule book of silly small penalties for trivial things that the committee don’t have time for anyway. The Supreme Court made up of conservatives and liberals had a vote of 9-0 in the confidence they had in the NCAA. That says it all, a group that can’t hardly agree on anything agrees they aren’t happy with the NCAA. People have lost all confidence if fairness with the governing body. The NCAA is one good lawsuit away from losing it all. We need a governing body but not the one we have now. Does anybody really think the NCAA is going to rewrite their rule book and streamline rules or even tackle portal issues and NIL issues quickly or promptly???? The NCAA either needs to retool and improve ASAP or the colleges Presidents and AD’s of the power schools need to find or appoint one that can do the job.

In foresight, One can only image how poorly we would be in the next 2 years if those people had not been fire.

Intelligence guided by experience tells me the NCAA will find some way to totally screw us!

Anybody got a position on this Adam Sparks guy? My KNS ban has been long and iron clad. I only read this because it did not put a nickle in their pocket. Hope he has not be contaminated by John Adams exposure.
