He said they are going to get hammered and set back years. He’s not one to exaggerate, so it may get pretty bad over there.



Wouldn't expect any less from an organization that employs Phillip Fulmer.

Not trying to take a shot at TN but doesn’t the job lose a little bit of luster after the admin digs up dirt on the HC in order to get out of paying what they owe him?


It's going to be a factor in their coaching search unless they've got their guy.

One of the reasons Arkansas had such a hard time with their search in 2019 was the fact they were in active litigation with Bert after they'd stopped paying his buyout due to him being too lazy to look for another coaching job.

Suing him was understandable, but just bad optics.

Couple highlights from the presser:

Phil Fulmer said Kevin Steele didn't know he could end up being the acting head coach when he was hired last week but he did know that there was an investigation going on.

UT president Randy Boyd on his message to current and future players, parents:

"If you want a place that puts integrity first, you want to come to the University of Tennessee."

Plowman said the source who tipped off the investigation was someone "who seemed credible to us" but she declined to say if it was someone inside or outside the program.

Plowman said she can't answer how many players' eligibility is in question moving forward. Declined to indicate a small or large number.

Chancellor Plowman on the level of NCAA violations: "Our counsel has told us we're looking at Level I or Level II violations."

Says she's unsure how many.

Just read he’s from Cookesville


He's not. He was born there, but he grew up in Georgia.
