That’s a lawyer doing his job. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true.

Well, you know Sabin, Kirby and Pruitt. We know all three are cheaters.

Every indication out there says there is no legitimate reason why they would be involved.

I mean it’s not like one of the current UGA on going investigations were they have proof UGA staffers routinely drove recruits around wasted.

But a Georgia player,
staff members can drive drunk, kill someone and yet never get in trouble, it's amazing how some schools are so squeaky clean.

The only cheater is Pruitt. He’s the idiot who thought stuffing cash into McDonalds sacks was a good idea. Enjoy your 5 year probation. More is coming. It will be decades before repeat offender UT recovers from this latest scandal.
Of course they haven’t done anything for years so even a break even season would be would be reason enough to plan a parade and crack out the champions of life rings.

No Tennessee admitted that Pruitt did have $60,000 worth of cash. But Tennessee’s fighting this but the courts will decide.

The flight wasn't free. Delta didn't let him ride just because. It was paid for by Spyre, his NIL. And the NCAA can't tell NILs what they can do. Putting any rule restricting them or a team from hosting one of their clients is a restriction.

It’s like you guys purposely ignore very key elements. This has nothing to do with the NL. They’re investigating a booster flying a recruit to campus for a recruiting visit.

UT has their story and they are sticking to it. No matter how ridiculous it is

Pretty sure that delinquent staff member would have gotten DUI and vehicle manslaughter convictions if she survived, but death is punishment enough for her.

They can say a visit to meet staff on campus isn’t allowed since spyre paid for the visit.

Just a reminder that we self-reported a player sleeping on an assistant coach’s couch for two nights after getting kicked out of his GF’s apartment. We self-reported the violation, the player reimbursed the coach for an amount agreed upon by the NCAA, and then they still slapped us with a level 1 violation(the same as if that coach would have just bought him a house) a few years later.

Tennessee fans are currently dealing with 3 mistakes
1: thinking the NCAA is powerless
2: thinking this has anything to do with the NIL
3: being a fricking Vols fan.

There is usually a lot of communication between a player and staff when players visit a school.

Makes total sense that a recruit would visit campus and not come into ANY contact with any Vol player, coach, or other university staff.

Nico’s cousin plays on Tennessee’s softball team. 2024 #1 ranked by the way. He went by to see her.
