Tennessee football sanctioned by NCAA…

• 5 years probation
• Pruitt gets a 6-year show cause
• No bowl ban
• $8 million fine

What does it mean show cause because Jimbo got one and did not miss a lick of coaching.

This one has a little more bite.

Pruitt is also facing a one-year suspension if hired:

• A six-year show-cause order for the former head coach. Should the head coach become employed in an athletically related position at an NCAA school during that show-cause order, he shall be subject to a suspension from 100% of the first season of his employment.

I thought the NIL got rid of those pesky infraction thingies.

This may be last one of this type we see in a long while.

Much of this was pre-COVID and therefore pre-NIL.

Looks like the terms in Jimbo's were not nearly as severe as Pruit's.
Looks like the infractions were not nearly as blatant.

It really muddied the already dirty waters of recruiting, did it not?

honestly why not just go wild? ncaa is a joke of the past now

Pruitt will never be a Head Coach again.
The $8 million fine will leave a mark regardless of their Athletic budget. I don't see Jimmy Haslam writing that check for UT.

they said that about Freeze as well at one time

Yeah. But Freeze was actually a pretty good coach. Pruitt was never getting a P5 head coaching job again even without this.

In other words, UT used a guy who’s now an NFL coach as their scapegoat, the NCAA handed it’s harshest penalties to said coach which no college has any desire to hire in the first place, and UT itself receives nothing of consequence

We shoulda paid Cam that $180K

in today's NIL world that would have been a hell of a bargain.
