NCAA still has its investigation open but UT has done its due diligence well and isn’t expected to face serious or prolonged fallout.
And who is your source? So far you haven't even explained away your own Chancellor's charges of Level one.

Knoxville news sentinel announcement
Per the university:
The university has completed its investigation of rules violations within the football program. We are moving forward with our focus on rebuilding our football program and supporting student-athletes. We will now work to finalize a fair and efficient resolution through the applicable process while navigating a rapidly changing landscape in intercollegiate athletics that includes transformative change for the NCAA, the Alston decision and significant new name, image and likeness rights for our student-athletes.
“We will hold ourselves accountable considering the nature of the violations, our prompt investigation and corrective personnel actions, the new recruiting environment and other factors. In the interest of protecting the rights of innocent student-athletes, the university will not impose a postseason bowl ban. NCAA bylaws prevent us from sharing details of the investigation at this time, but we do commit to providing that information when we are able. We appreciate the patience and support of our fans during this process.”
The rest is from various reports, tv stories, local sports talk, local groups,…

I feel like this stuff was manufactured to fire Pruitt.

All parties involved on the university side are no longer employees of the university, student athletes involved transferred out and/cooperated with the investigation. At least 2 boosters(bagmen) have been disassociated from the university. I doubt the NCAA pursues recruits that signed elsewhere beyond simple interviews. Likewise I doubt the NCAA pursues student athletes that transferred out beyond the Tennessee investigation.

It’s a free country. Nothing in Tennessee’s past supports this, infact Tennessee has demonstrated a willingness to pay staffers before and after Pruitt not to coach at UT.

This. Pruitt is going to drop the lawyer hammer.
He can try but his contract doesn't help him. He signed his own firing papers - it's riddled with NCAA violations as a cause for firing.
