Saw this tucked in article on ESPN web site. Thought you might be interested.


"Whatever remaining power the NCAA still has to enforce whatever rules are remaining might be in serious trouble after a ruling last week in an Alabama state court. Doesn't apply to just Pruit but maybe all coaches banned from the NCAA.

Judge Andrew J. Hairston of the circuit court of DeKalb County, Alabama, on Monday granted a preliminary injunction to former Tennessee football coach Jeremy Pruitt that for now prohibits the NCAA's enforcement of a six-year "show cause" penalty. The NCAA sanction effectively made Pruitt unemployable in college athletics for that time period."

For the moment he's clear of any repercussions while Tennessee is still having to deal with reduced visits,calls,and scholarships.
Wonder if TN has any recourse if this holds up?

Like what? The rules were the rules AT THE TIME and Pruitt broke them. I dont understand what that has to do with the here and now. Why would anyone be entitled to "residual" compensation for breaking rules that were in place at that time, just because they no longer apply now?

Be interesting to see if NCAA appeals this or just rolls over. If they roll over then I believe they are officially done as an enforcement agency for CFB.

Probably roll. Lawyers costs $$$$$. The NCAA appears to be a floating boat in a big Ocean. They are basically an Administrative Organization with little Authority to impose their will. When they do attempt to impose will they end up in court costing $$$$. IOW, Ball less.

Like to reinstate full visits,calls, scholarships that were taken from the decision to punish Pruitt.
TN lost the ability to call recruits, offer it's full complement of scholarships,have their ability to visit recruits reduced.
If he is now reinstated without serving his full show cause penalty, should TN be able to reinstate, from this moment forward, all the reductions that were implemented against them from the Pruitt decision?
If he gets off early, so should TN

I think the difference in UT getting out of ncaa jail early and corbread getting out early is, UT owned it. Cornbread has whined the entire time. Squeaky wheels get the grease. UT has taken the high road so to speak and not whined and cried to every microphone available. They owned it, accepted the punishment, and moved on. Nobody said UT liked what they got, but they have been much more mature about it. If cornbread is hurting for money, he shoulda hired a better financial planner and adopted some better spending habits. Clown made more money in his time at UT than most of us will make in our lifetime. I feel no pity for him.

Then we should get our scholarships back and our probation terminated.

Six years was too long to defend. Especially in light of the current environment.

When was the ruling set to expire? Pruitt was fired in January of 2021. 6 years of unemployment is only a few days away.
