Correct me if I’m wrong, but if we hire Pruitt before a show cause is handed down we’re not immediately sanctioned. That would be retroactively punishing the team for hiring an unsanctioned individual.

Now I imagine there’s a process to go through the cause and I’m not certain if that process allows him to finish out the year or if it would require him being out on leave/Golding taking over the second it’s handed down.

Was Bruce Pearl under a show-cause order when Auburn hired him, or had it expired?

I was thinking he had one in place at one time, but I may be wrong about that.

If we didn't mind spending the money, couldn't we hire Pruitt prior to any possible show cause, and make him a co-DC along with Golding? That way we could get the benefit, and still protect ourselves in case he is sanctioned later? If he is sanctioned, we could either move him to an analyst position, or not allow him to recruit for a time period. We would still have Pete, so worst case we wouldn't be any worse off than we already are.
