You have to be given approval to get to that stage of one year, otherwise you’re just sanctioning yourself for however long they’re sitting on your payroll.

Former head coach Jeremy Pruitt received the brunt of the punishment by the NCAA as he was given a six-year show-cause penalty. [b]Additionally, should Pruitt be hired for the coming fall of 2023 he faces a full season suspension.[b]

It’s a two-pronged punishment. Hence “additionally”.

quote:
Contrary to popular belief, an NCAA member school is allowed to hire a coach who is under an ongoing show-cause order. However, the show-cause restrictions make it prohibitively difficult for a coach with a show-cause order to get another collegiate job.

As mentioned above, any school that hires a coach with an outstanding show-cause order can be penalized merely for hiring them. Additionally, that school could be severely punished if such a coach commits additional violations while the show-cause order is still in effect.[2]

Consequently, most schools will not even consider hiring a coach with a show-cause penalty in effect, meaning that it usually has the effect of blackballing that coach from the collegiate ranks for at least the duration of the penalty. Many coaches who receive a show-cause penalty never coach again even after the penalty expires, since a large number of athletic directors and university presidents/chancellors are unwilling to hire someone with a history of major violations due to the potentially disastrous effects the hiring could have on the program.[3]

Schools don’t test show causes, ever, for good reason. Pruitt could be an analyst and our OL Coach could commit a Level 2 violation and we would get whacked with an absolute sledgehammer compared to the normal punishment. And we would be under that scenario until 2029
