🏈 Tennessee / Pruitt sanctions announced

[24and7]

Dude, I'm telling you... You gotta chill out for real before you get kicked out for good. You're on everyone's bad side. I'm trying to help you out this time.. simmer down and chill out.

Well if that’s the case.. I’ll tip my cap.. thank you… just having a few cold ones

How he's gonna leave and join staff a month before season starts

It could happen, just not likely. If he's having a bad time there, I'd expect him to finish this year out and then move on from them.

Be careful someone may make you listen to U2 because he hates pictures

i was being polite.

@24and7 this is like neighborhood bar. You can't fuck with the room until you know the room

Tennessee gets essentially nothing and Pruitt gets a season suspension and a six year show cause

Vols got what they wanted... they are out from under the fallout and Pruitt is radioactive to Alabama. Meanwhile, Fulmer, who oversaw and encouraged it all... slinks away into the shadows, again.

That's not to say Pruitt shouldn't have been burned to a degree, he should have. It is saying, the punishment he has already served was pretty damn bad in an of itself.

It is unlikely but not impossible!

Honestly it is more than I expected. Do you guys not believe the loss of scholarships, official vists etc.... could impact the Vile recruting. Many of these are for the duration of probation. I know some have already be served but still have a 6 year window. I like everyone else would love to see them be reduced to well what they were for 15 years but $8M and the other items seem like more than a slap.

Tennessee has been volunteering small penalties over the last few years (loss of scholarships, reduced recruiting days, reduced contacts) in order to minimize a BIG penalty. It worked.

The scholarship reductions and less visits will most certainly hurt them at some point, and the $8 million payout is certainly no chump change, that's money that could've went back into the program in many different ways. But they still got off pretty light considering what they were caught doing.

They were soft on them and hammered Pruitt to me.

Hopefully this will allow Pruitt to ease back into a role at Bama. Be an analyst and take over for Steele next year.

Pruitt won’t be back at Alabama (IMO). He’s radioactive. His reputation is one that the administration doesn’t want. If he did it before, it’s highly likely he’ll do it again.

I want him back, badly.... but, 6 years is an absolute fuck job. If we do bring him back in anyway, we'll have to deal with dumb shit NCAA regularly while he's still under these infractions. As of right now, I don't think Saban wants to deal with that. We'll see, he may hire him. All we can hope for now is that these penalties will be reduced at some point.

Unlike the Vols, he had no protection from Sankey. Didn't do himself many favors with the lawsuit either, but hard to blame him there since he was hung out to dry. Then again, he should have known the pool he was jumping into from the start, so hard to feel too sorry for him.

Listening to Tide100.5 driving to and from work and one of the commentators on there were saying UT would be able to circumvent the scholarship losses by using NIL to effectively provide the lost scholarships. if so, all this really leaves as a weapon for the NCAA against the school is the financial penalties.

Is Jeremy Pruitt coming back to Nick Saban & Alabama? Six-year show-cause NCAA sentence could lead to disgraced coach returning to Crimson Tide

Former Tennessee Volunteers coach Jeremy Pruitt has finally gotten the findings from the NCAA of his recruiting violations from three years.

This leaves me wondering when the show cause starts with Pruitt. If UT can self-impose their scholarship losses early shouldn't the time Pruitt has been away be credited as well? I don't know how that works.

I don't buy that.

I wish/hope that were the case, but I doubt it.

No one has metnioned this but if Pruitt did this while in Vileville was he doing this when he was at Bama? Probably did not need to as much but unlikely he just started this kind of stuff. Now in this NIL world it would be the norm.
