"look at those boxes, those guys give you lots of money"

I am guessing he only learned how to do this after he left Alabama. Per the NCAA he was clean as a whistle while at 'Bama. He became a cheater at a later stage in his career.

You are so mad. LoL.

$60K is chump change and small potatoes. Major programs paid tons more for recruits. The NCAA is a joke.

The brothers call that a mouth piece.

when are they going after Charger nd Challenger man? I bet the money loss that would cause breeds some hypocrisy in the NCAA enforcement dept.

I would say that UT would be hit with a penalty, but hasn't the last decade been penalty enough?

Proper punishment should be to make them continue to pay.

He paid for his recruits to get their nails done? No wonder Tennessee's football team is so soft.

Did you read the part when it said "family"? The dudes' girlfriends and mamas got stuff too.

Paying for recruits to go to nail salons? No wonder they suck even after cheating. They’re targeting some suspect players.

Has Dick Vitale weighed in yet?

With the NIL now, why is the NCAA perusing this?

jrctiger84•41 months

Some of those infractions are still not compliant with NCAA recruiting rules. Regardless of NIL

ZenFNmaster•41 months

I can't wait for the signs on college gameday about which players were getting their nails did.

narddogg81•41 months

Guess ok penis head will be too toxic to be on staff again. It's a shame, he's an outstanding DC, should have never tried to be HC

LSU and Will Wade were notified of just 8 level 1 violations, by comparison. Pruitt swung for the fences and got 18 for Tennessee.

I assume Pruitt was continuing the Saban recruiting tradition, remember when Jimbo told Saban to STFU about NIL money, because he knows alot about Alabama's recruiting

PowHound•41 months

Article about Pruitt and Tennessee = start talking about Nick Saban lol rent free for life

24/7 - 365 rent fricking free. Never change coonasses… never change. ??

Jimbo is missing a chromosome, and if you think he has anything on Saban, you're probably missing one too. If Jimbo had ANYTHING on Saban, he'd already be screaming bloody murder.

Saban is a good cheater. His tree can’t cheat as good.
