As you can tell, it’s all bama fans that are the loudest. Pruitt couldn’t even win while paying players. Lost to freaking Georgia state. I see his show cause being lifted.

And to add, even though players were getting paid, it still wasn’t legal at that point. It is now, but doesn’t change it wasn’t then. If he’s wanting to “spill the beans” wouldn’t that open up investigations from everywhere he was employed just so they can “settle”(Not versed in this so actually a legitimate question)?

NCAA will lose. The fact they change the rules daily will hurt them.

The NCAA one day rules you can't pay players. The next day it is OK.

What a garbage organization.
the fact that what Pruitt did is being done out in the open now and by every school should mean he at least gets his show cause removed.

That's the definition of a loser. TCU paid players in the early 80s , and went 3-8.

A key point of the suit: Jeremy Pruitt claims that Tennessee was illegally paying players before he arrived and that he reported the violations to then-AD Phillip Fulmer in 2017.



How is the school I worked for was breaking rules, before I started to stuff cash in McDonalds bags for recruits a defense?

Fulmer was just the gofer. Roy Kramer was the guy calling the shots.

No he’s not. What will eventually happen, if anything, will be the show cause being lifted. Tennessee is not being sued, he got some money during his firing, albeit, not his full amount. The whole lawsuit is weird. How many times has a show cause been overturned or even the NCAA entertain it? The NCAA is still a private institution and the merit there still kind of holds considering at that time, there were laws about paying players. Even though those have changed after his infractions, doesn't negate he was penalized when those laws were in place. Just because legal now, doesn’t mean they were then and you can’t just do a take back because laws change after the fact. You broke the law that was instilled at the time, and that’s the punishment. You just don’t null and void.
