And Cats got hammered. UT was funneling money to players in McDonalds bags got busted and gave NCAA 8 million dollars then sued them.
Tennessee didn’t fight the NCAA “tooth and nail” over the Pruitt allegations.Well, regardless of whose crimes were worse (I'd say that theirs were objectively worse and more widespread), their school and administration decided that they would not lie down and that they would fight the NCAA tooth and nail.
Ours, on the other hand, laid down. I have no idea why, in this day and age where the NCAA is completely feckless and without moral authority, any school would ever take any sort of meaningful penalties or sanctions from them without legal challenge. This was a really dumb and weak response by UK.

In fact, Tennessee was commended by the NCAA for their level of cooperation and transparency.
No sense is questioning the common agendas on here. They won't listen.Tennessee didn’t fight the NCAA “tooth and nail” over the Pruitt allegations.

They absolutely did. Pruitt was giving McDonald's bags full of cash. UT decided that they were not going to take punishment lying down. Cooperating with an investigation and "bending over and taking it" are two different things.Tennessee didn’t fight the NCAA “tooth and nail” over the Pruitt allegations.

Well because we were probably guilty of what was alleged. We turned ourselves in too. If you cheat be honest and take your punishment. UT and UL knew they cheated and would not admit it. Tried to sue and buy their way out. I don’t want my university to be like that. Actually, NO institution of higher learning should be. America today tho.Well, regardless of whose crimes were worse (I'd say that theirs were objectively worse and more widespread), their school and administration decided that they would not lie down and that they would fight the NCAA tooth and nail.

If you don't believe me, then go and read the Tony Basilio blog and let the vol insiders themselves tell you what actually happened.
Tennessee self-reported the violations to the NCAA. They also conducted an internal investigation and provided all of the evidence to the NCAA.They absolutely did. Pruitt was giving McDonald's bags full of cash. UT decided that they were not going to take punishment lying down.

We always lay down to the NCAA. They are toothless and have been for a long time. Just pretend to put up a fight and they will lay down. Kansas basketball has been caught cheating for decades and always seem to keep their wins when they need them..Well, regardless of whose crimes were worse (I'd say that theirs were objectively worse and more widespread), their school and administration decided that they would not lie down and that they would fight the NCAA tooth and nail.

How many total wins did UT end up vacating? I’m too lazy to look it up.
You're talking about 2 different issues. UT complied fully with the Pruitt issue, but sued the NCAA over the NCAA trying to punish UT over Spyre Sports Group paying to fly Nico to Knoxville from CA.They absolutely did.

Sure didn't hurt them peckerheads.15 I think, that's all they won in Pruitt's 3 years, was fined 8m, lost 120 days of evaluation time under the probation, 26 scholarships and 36 official visits per year while under probation.

The FB staff was never accused of doing anything.What did the fb staff do that they was guilty of?
I don’t think it was the staff that set it up. The director of that program at the medical center was fired over it. Probably a booster, someone at the hospital allowed it. Hell, I know guys that work at Ford that are on the clock, but at a local bar drinking and playing Cornhole. It happens a lot. They be like , hang on. , I gotta go clock out, gimme 10 minutes. No lie.What did the fb staff do that they was guilty of?
The FB staff was never accused of doing anything.
The players were accused of violations, and the players were guilty of those violations. We vacated games because the players did things that made them ineligible, and they played in games despite being ineligible.
They were members of the football team, which makes it a football team problem. They knew what they were doing was against the rules and that it would make them ineligible. They chose to do it anyway and they falsely certified that they were eligible when they were in fact ineligible. Which means UK competed using ineligible players.Yes I knew what happened it was discussed in HOB a couple years ago when Rod was suspended. Had nothing to do with the fb team. If someone didn't go to work they get fired. It's up to the hospital to get there money back via lawyers or whatever... not turn it in like the fb program did something wrong.
It's like saying Georgia fb players are speeding so lets put them on probation and forfeit there wins.
