Paul Finebaum: "Tennessee is...

[WiseOlVol]

stupid for admitting violations. NCAA is inept and can't prove a he said, she said case. Best practice is to obfuscate a while then settle."

Thinks management had ulterior motive for falling on sword so swiftly.

 

[CA_Vol]

He isn’t wrong. Look at what UF just did.

 

[GetEmVols]

I stopped reading after “Tennessee is stupid” and I agree.

yah but they want to save $12 million

 

[DaddyChad]

“We’ll take the penalties just get this SOB off our tab”

Perhaps that's it.

 

[Volbrando]

He says that because he knows pruitt just did what Bama does but got caught at a place that won’t stand for it

It was a calculated decision. Primary factor was money. UT probably figured that it made more sense to suffer sanctions for a few seasons than face a buyout that they simply could not afford. Trying to choose the lesser of two evils

 

[BruisedOrange]

It was a sword of opportunity.

Georgia State and JG, aight?

Paul doesn't know Jack. We have no idea what's going on. The mole (my guess is Brumbaugh) could have said "if you don't tell the NCAA I will"

Who knows what's going happening. Not me, not Paul. A proactive approach and admission of guilt might help. Might not. We'll see

LSU and UNC showed they really have no power. Of course UT would admit all wrongdoings in a televised PC

I should have known to stop reading after “Paul Finebaum said”.

But they win big and we don’t

That’s the entire deal and it’s more than that when you add in the assistants.

I KNOW this.... UT has 15 million plus 8.5 million bowl revenue at its disposal this afternoon. Pretty good bargain... my bet they already got a readout form SEC and NCAA. Decided it was worth it. Not bad.

 

[wrangler]

It's clear from listening to Finebaum today that he doesn't have a clue what was going on, and how this thing unfolded.

 

[EtowahVol]

He's absolutely correct. Because he knows this is what Saban has done for 20 yrs.

 

[Vol524]

This will end up costing way more than 12 Million.

Basilio was actually the guy on top of this thing way more than anyone for weeks now
