Ex-Vols coach Pruitt sues NCAA, seeking $100M

Former Tennessee football coach Jeremy Pruitt has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking $100 million and claims it conspired with the university to make him a "sacrificial lamb."

$100 million would buy a lot of asparagus.

Remember when Pruitt totally outcoached our very low IQ coach, Joe Moorhead? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Everybody knows his lawsuit is true, I bet they come to an agreement

Here's why he's suing
On July 27, 2023, the DeKalb County School System announced that Pruitt had been hired as a physical education teacher at Plainview High School and would serve as a junior high boys’ basketball coach.

What did they do?

This is going to hurt his case:

In 2021, about nine months after his firing, an attorney representing Pruitt at the time, Michael Lyons, threatened a lawsuit against Tennessee if the university failed to reach a settlement with Pruitt by Oct. 29 of that year. Lyons wrote a letter to UT's general counsel claiming that Pruitt's lawsuit had the potential to "cripple UT's athletic programs for years."

That deadline passed, and nothing ever came of the threatened lawsuit against Tennessee.

The most likely reason IMO that he has revived this issue is that he's probably no longer financially liquid due to his Jr High/high school gig.
