NCAA Slams Tennessee With 18 Infractions Under Former Coach Jeremy Pruitt

Former Tennessee football coach Jeremy Pruitt, his wife and several members of his football staff provided about $60,000 of impermissible benefits and recruiting inducements to more than two dozen recruits and their families over a three-year period, according to a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA, a copy of which was obtained by Sports Illustrated through a public records request.
The 51-page document sent to the school Friday outlines 18 separate allegations of blatant recruiting misconduct from Pruitt and his staff transpiring as early as September 2018, his 10th month on the job, and extending through the COVID-19 recruiting dead period of 2020. All of the allegations are Level I, considered the most egregious on the NCAA’s infractions scale.
In the most serious of allegations, Pruitt and his staff hosted at least six prospects and their families on nine weekend unofficial visits during the yearlong dead period, providing them with lodging, meals, transportation, household goods and even furniture that totaled $12,000. Pruitt himself is charged with having made cash payments of $3,000 and $6,000 to two prospects’ mothers, the first used to assist in medical bills and the other for a downpayment on a vehicle.

This is where the Tennessee Chancellor calls another presser to insist and remind the NCAA these are Level I charges.

Tennessee should tell them to piss up a rope

UT did not self-impose a bowl ban because it does not want to punish players for actions of coaches and staff no longer in the program.
Instead, UT leaders think penalties should focus on the area of the violations – in this case, recruiting. That’s why the football program quietly self-imposed recruiting restrictions and scholarship reductions during the 2021 season, sources close to the situation told Knox News.
That’s consistent with the new NCAA constitution, which includes amended language to “ensure to the greatest extent possible that penalties imposed for infractions do not punish programs or student-athletes innocent of the infraction(s).”
quote:
Tennessee is counting on its cooperation from the start to spare it the worst punishments: a postseason ban and the loss of a significant number of scholarships for players over several seasons.
UT is pointing to a change made early this year to the NCAA constitution that encourages leniency toward programs that root out cheating themselves. Specifically, the proposed NCAA rules changes discourage punishing current athletes for violations that occurred before they were part of the program. The new constitution goes into effect Aug. 1, well before the NCAA's judgment on Tennessee's recruiting violations will be finalized.
NCAA expecting to go light

I guess they have to do something...but considering the NIL this seems stupid now.

The NCAA needs to die on the vine. They’re completely corrupt and useless

coaches still cannot pay out of their own pockets. even with NIL.
Tennessee should have done what everyone else did (does). use a bagman that can't be traced directly to the bank account of the coach.

And they shouldn't. Punish people who actually did something.
A "program" is a lifeless, soulless entity. You might as well slap a red X over their logo for a year or something

i am ready for a school to accuse the NCAA of systemic racism as a defense for paying players

I'm weirdly conflicted with feelings of "frick both" the NCAA and UT all at the same time.

And now today, they’re paying $8M for a product (Iamaleava)that they don’t even know works on the level they’re hoping.
$8M whim

Greg Schiano would have done a good job at Tennessee. They blew it.

The NCAA is still a thing in College Football?

Pruitt learned how to be a cheater from his boy Rush Propst.
