| FTBL Tennessee / Pruitt sanctions announced

So after hearing n reading all this....
What IYO is the impact?
There's little to no true impact from violations anymore is what I get out of this. It looks like the NCAA is shifting toward financial impact over post-season bans and other punishments. The NCAA needs to look over their structure for punishments and either let the conferences handle it in house or they need to come up with a structure people will actually abide by at this point.
 
Would have loved to have seen at least one year with major sanctions.
Bowl ban

If this happened back in the 90s.
Would have been really bad.

I thought. They skirted it again
They're incredibly inconsistent with their punishments. If I recall correctly, Ole Miss had 15 infractions, and received a two year bowl ban.... for pretty much the same exact thing Tennessee was caught doing. I'm ready for them to be completely obsolete.

The truth is the NIL has made some of what Pruitt and the vile’s were sanctioned for a joke. $60k in impermissible benefits for 29 recruits is nothing compared to the tens of millions of dollars being “legally” thrown around now. All that being said, I so wish the fat man was still involved with that program. He would have become the poster child for “what goes around comes around” … except the punishment is so watered down now as to make it seem more like a slap on the wrist than the true hard hitting sanctions of long ago.
