Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Also to be noted.. the article says Pruitt specifically gave money and gifts as well as other coaches and family. If they had the direct receipts of this, which it sounds like they do since the article when into detail about the violations, then I don’t see how Pruitt can sue the university.

lol

For Pruitt and staff, extra benefits went well beyond cash—they paid for hotel rooms, some of them at the Crown Plaza in Knoxville, airline tickets, dozens of meals and more. In one allegation, coaches delivered $500 in university apparel to prospects while under the cover of a parking garage. In another, the staff paid $225 in nail salon treatments for families. During one unofficial visit, coaches took prospects and family members on a fishing trip that included a meal from Knoxville’s famous Calhoun’s restaurant and coaches spending $175 on a meal for a prospect’s family at Dead End BBQ.

On at least two occasions, the staff bought McDonald’s for prospects and their families, though the bags included just food and not cash, as was erroneously reported by TV and radio host Dan Patrick. Staff members did, however, buy Chick-fil-A breakfasts for recruits.

When you can't win it, Pruitt.

It's like he got 1/2 of Saban's playbook. Cheated his way to a losing season, while getting busted.

Not so coincidentally, his camp has been silent for months on a possible claim.

So we now have, potentially, another 150 days to wait for the actual punishment. Assuming the "60 day reply window" comes with the actual punishment.

We'll have our 2023 class wrapped up before anything happens.

Now comes the penalty phase of the case.

Tennessee and the people named have 90 days to respond to the notice of allegations. Then the NCAA enforcement staff has 60 days to reply to those responses.

His verbage was spot on. "Less than ideal." I am pretty sure he has referenced oncoming "bad" news, too, so now we know.

His verbage would have been spot on if it had been "far better than we had hoped for" news incoming. lol

So, is there anymore debate about how Plowman and Boyd handled it?

I had already admitted to being wrong but I bend the knee to Plowman and Boyd…. They seem to have done a great job.

Not good enough. We need more flatulence.

Again, it’s almost like people on here didn’t have the full story and all the information like Plowman, Boyd and Company. And this is another reminder of what it looks like to have adults in charge of the University.

I honestly thought it was going to be a larger dollar amount than $60,000. Players are getting more than that in NIL.

6 more weeks until Football Time in Tennessee.

Wonder if any of the players that received money will get punished as well.

You can't pile on a Big Mac. Them's the rules.

Nothing is gonna happen

Almost like Clean Living Prevailed!

The players won't get punished. I'm guessing it's the players that transferred out of UT after Pruitt was fired.

2022 Preseason @ASUN_Football All-Conference and Coaches Poll Announced

Let’s Go Peay!!!

 

[thistime]

This is Good News !!!! The UT penalties made the paper but not the front page, so that's not that much bad publicity either.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

gonna be ok.

[peaygolf]

Only $60,000. No wonder we sucked and could only afford McDonalds Bags

More like "Happy Meals".........
Needed "Big Macs"

[drvenner]

So after Leacock picks the Vols later today, when do you think the next commit is coming?






Also, it seems odd your pet peeve is talking about recruiting whilst in the Recruiting Forum.

Not talking about it. Whining about it. Big difference.
