Henry T didn't fire Pruitt so late that it was after the Spring semester add/drop date.
Henry's tuition was paid for before Pruitt was even fired. But yeah. I'm sure the hate is all about Henry taking money from the University. I'll believe that after the fan money retreival task force gets back the 900k Kevin Steele stole from the university.
As far as the rival team thing, again, that's just more of the same. Fan base rivalries have nothing to do with HT's business. His final two schools were Bama and Tennessee. Didn't see anybody try to veto him then for not hating Bama enough. Didn't see anybody trying to keep Cade Mays away to protect the honor of fan rivalries. Weird.
