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. Cooperating with an investigation and "bending over and taking it" are two different things.

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. 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.

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.
