Tennessee Will NOT Self-Impose Bowl Ban

[koz]

"Tennessee feels strongly that the players involved in the alleged violations have transferred elsewhere and many will be in post-season play themselves."

I assume that means To'o to'o and Eric Grey and Wayna Morris?

 

[Nugget]

No

Yep. Basically - we handled everything by the book. Now go look at what is going on at your preferred teams.

Tennessee was NEVER going to implement a bowl ban. Primary reason is the significant loss of SEC bowl revenue they would lose by being ineligible. This revenue hit, coming off a pandemic year where the AD lost $40 million, isnt realistic. I doubt the NCAA would have hit them with it anyway. There will be other penalties.....none of which will hurt half as much as hiring that single digit IQ Jeremy Pruitt in the first place. GBO

 

[Orange defense]

GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MR. DANNY WHITE! I SALUTE YOU! SIR! Stand up! TAKE A BOW!
Thank you!!!

I say we pay $250,000 and call the players transferring out the "loss of scholarships for 1 year" and move on.

Come on, Coach Pruitt had a double digit IQ. Low teens, but double digit nonetheless.

Crouch as well. Sparty is undefeated.

I have openly wondered many times on this board how many of the guys who left were part of UT's purge of people involved in the violations.

Unfortunate but I'm glad UT is taking this stance.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

I'm thinking they must feel pretty good about the crooting they have done to this point. I know UT's name is "out there" with the kids.

Hard to believe the ncaa has not yet collapsed like a neutron star under the weight of its own ponderous rules and regulations.
Not to mention its lack of institutional control.

to date, they still hold a lot of weight with basketball, and they can still hold your balls over a fire in basketball. Mark Emmert holds basketball on a shelf over football. Basketball kids are starting to turn on him tho.

[House of Neyland]

Saban and Stankey will make the final decision on us

 

[rltw1974]

Maybe TN wont come out of this as bad as we thought. If they punish us they would have to punish the players that took money (can only assume or they are), then the NCAA should vacate the wins that those players played in and we all know the NCAA isn't going to vacate wins of Bama, OU, or Mich St.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Saban and Stankey will make the final decision on us

Yeah, I’m sure Saban has been squeaky clean throughout his whole career.

 

[Orange defense]

Yeah, I’m sure Saban has been squeaky clean throughout his whole career.

Screw them to!

NCAA: We recommend you self impose a bowl ban for your violations

UT: Ok that’s good advice. We will consider it, we just need to ask our representative what he thinks.

NCAA: Ok, and what is your representative’s name?

UT: His name is Deez….

POY!!

We sure did, and that is good enough!

 

[Volfan1000]

This team deserves a bowl game for sure.

 

[Orange defense]

This team deserves a bowl game for sure.

And the year after, after that, and the year after that. Back off NCAA! We’ve done our job.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

This team deserves a bowl game for sure.

One of my all-time favorite teams. No stars in the spotlight, just a team of guys who always fight and coaches who are great leaders.

 

[CAVPUT]

If only it were up to just us.

I think the wording by the university makes it clear that UT has cleaned house.....completely. To let the guilty parties simply move on to green pastures elsewhere while leveling penalties on the current team and staff not to mention the fan base....all of whom are blameless...is totally inappropriate and unjust. If the NCAA doesn't accept all we've done in response and they come after innocent parties, I say take 'em to court and sue hell outta them. Enough of this BS. I'd love to see the NCAA try to defend their handling of LSU and UNC among others in a courtroom while they come after us after the lengths and expense we've gone to in order to set things right.
