Tennessee granted extension by NCAA to respond to NOA

nCaa is pretty Predictable...
They have a prancing pony all ready for the show, so they don't want to tarnish or damage that image just yet. They'll wait until after the good season like they always do. Milk the viewership for all it's worth while they can.
It's no secret that they LOVE the big cheaters with the big names, and hate the small market schools that have smaller violations. It's the only thing they have proven over the past 40 yrs.
NCAA has no power anymore , any team with anything going against them tell them to pound sand. What they going to do ???
UT fired staff and self induced their scholarships, plus some other restrictions, etc ... Most people have thought for months that NCAA would not hand down further punishment.
The ONE thing UT did not do was issue a bowl ban. They chose to accept bowl bid last year when many people thought they would announce their own 1 year ban.
How ironic if NCAA says “1 year bowl ban!” I don’t expect it, but ... that would be a dagger!

Can’t effect the playoffs ( aka the only bowl games that matter ) as it isn’t a ncaa controlled sanctioned event.
I expect NCAA to accept their self imposed penalties.
But, your statement is interesting if NCAA did impose 1 year bowl ban!!! The playoffs are played in bowls.
That would be an interesting fight.
Again, I don't expect it! But, would be interesting even if they could not attend Sugar Bowl if they don’t make CFP.
NCAA will not be doing anything. Count on that.
Emmert is leaving... he's not done anything or let anything happen in the area of enforcement for quite some time.... that's not gonna change with his lame duck status.
New President coming in next summer. Who is that, BTW?

...lol and yet still a joke considering what they admitted to doing. Should be loss of scholarships, post-season ban, and NIL restrictions and monitoring for at least 2 years.
They knew it was happening the whole time and only bothered to reveal it because they needed to avoid a big buyout.
Same thing the cigarette manufacturers did to get the gov to fund their moving cigarette manufacturing overseas and eliminating small US tobacco growers. "We're going to self-impose some fines and fund a settlement, admitting to guilt, and as a result we'll make the same exact product in Asia and make all of that money back in months and then some. In fact, we'll raise prices even higher just to punish addicted US citizens for complaining about us killing them.
I guess no one is tired enough to turn off their TV or do anything about it otherwise... Or maybe they are, since the industries that used to thrive on the games are seeing a serious drop off in business. I don't as watch many games live like I once did. Used to watch from Th-S night, every football game college and pro that I could. Even took in HS games. 1 maybe 2 games a week now. Might watch selected future opponents later in the week, but usually just once or maybe twice for the tougher opponents...
I'll be surprised if the system survives much longer.
Post-season ban could affect the SEC title game. (It occurs AFTER the season.)
The league isn't gonna waste a spot in the playoff by letting a banned from the post season team compete in the title game. That said, the nCaa will do nothing and say nothing until after the bowl games. They don't want to lose the revenue generated, and they don't want to waste the publicity a later "scandal" punishment or non-punishment will do to keep them relevant.
As is typical by the TN media, this story is completely ignored in TN press just like the story about sexual assaults at the Garbage Dump, AKA Kneeland Stadium, a few weeks ago. Any story that is remotely negative about TN football is quickly shelved.
Right now... a 2 year bowl or championship ban and a reduction of schollies to 75/80/85 would be a dagger, and probably a gift.
You do know that it’s 2022 and the ncaa has virtually ZERO power right ? Reduction of scholarships has no teeth even if they were to do it . NIL takes care of all that and then some. If NiL gives you 250 k / year u can afford tuition. A bowl ban ? Lol no one gives a crap about any bowl that isn’t in the playoffs , hence y we about to see a 12 team playoff.
Biggest thing in all of this is ncaa is powerless. UT has already fired everyone involved and self sanctioned. It’s over
If that was the case UT would have submitted a one paragraph response and not requested an extension.
Maybe... unless nc2a decides to sack up, and do it for Ewe-tee. No one more deserves being a lab rat.
Why would you want players and coaches and an AD that had nothing to do with it to be affected?
Tennessee wants Felton, Pruitt and Neids out of college coaching for good. That’s the debate.
Pruitt's a senior asst in the NFL, doubt he gives a rat's ass about your shitty little program except to collect the money due him.
Lol pruitt isn’t coaching at all right now … sheesh he got fired w all the other Giants staff. Cmon man keep up
Because, well... nothing sucks like a big ol' 🍊 Yeah, I'm all about the hate. 30 years in the wilderness will have that effect.
We self imposed scholarship reductions down to I believe 68 last year and 78 this year
No one respects Tennessee's dirty paid for team except for Tennessee fans and Kentucky fans clueless about NIL. Tennessee is a dirty trash program in every way. LOL at people who defend Vol filth.
Ya my understanding is we self-imposed 25 lost scholarships so we'll have one more off of the 85 next year.
We did self impose svhalorsgip restrictions. I don’t see how you think the ncaa can limit nil things since that is independent and not part of the school system. That’s all private stuff. I guess you could tell the school they can’t endorse it but you can’t tell spyre they have to limit when they aren’t under ncaa anything. They fired every coach and all the guilty players that took money transferred out (a part of it no one talks about). Really the only thing that you said you wanted was a post season ban which punchier players that weren’t a part of it so it’s pretty obvious you just would like to see the best season we’ve had in 21 years ruined. I don’t see the ncaa punishing kids that are there like that regardless of your UT hate. Not being ugky wiyh yhis reply. Just being realistic
The funniest part is how holier than thou yall are. Yall ran your mouths about Cal for years and still do, all while being one of the dirtiest programs around coach after coach. Yall are just like UNC fans.
If it’s not the playoffs , no one cares about a bowl … any of them
y u think we going to a 12 team playoff.
Most of UT's roster was bought and paid for before NIL was legal. Why are they still eligible to play?
Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that UT is good again if they were paying players under the table all these years. Even though they've sucked for the better part of 15 years, they have a team full of paid players and struck portal gold at QB.

I haven’t ran my mouth about cal. Other fans have but I haven’t. I’m not much of a basketball follower. All I said in my post is we have did everything the poster wants except take a bowl ban and I kinda questioned the nil thing since it’s separate from the school. It’s that way for every school and brings a whole lot of questions and angles to the table. Ultimately the ncaa can do very little to nil organizations. The players yes but not nil orgs. At least not through schools. We even more or less asked the guilty players to transfer and that did hurt us player wide greatly as they were all contributions starters. Ncaa has no teeth anymore and we still took most all of what their normal punishment would be. All except the bowl ban which only punishes players now. Hardly fair to punish kids who might not even have been there for past players and coaches transgressions. I have felt that for years on that issue. Fine the school a huge amount or punish them in other ways but not current innocent kids and coaches
You missed my point. It’s not fair to punish players who are now there who weren’t during that time or didn’t even know or participate in it and there’s no way all of those kids were getting paid.
As long as we are good I am fine w everything you said , true or not. Just win baby
No I agree 100% w it , not sure how anyone can look objectively at what UT did w the mess and not think they did everything they could. Everyone and EVERYONE is gone who had anything to do w any of it.
My reply on that was to the other poster pushing for a post season ban. I just personally agree with any school punishing current players and coaches who weren’t there when violations occurred. Punish yes but not that way to innocent people. I think the school did about all they possibly could given the situation. Most everything they did wa standard ncaa punishment and it has hurt us with scholarship limits. It affected us big time last season in taking players from the transfer portal. We were very limited and it’s hurt us specifically on defensive side of the ball. Great season they are having or not
Regardless of which school, I'm a firm believer the cheating school should be punished. If not, schools will simply lay everything at the feet of coaches then move on.
Universities should be responsible for the actions of their coaches!
Remaining players have the option to leave without sitting out or to remain. Using the "we don't want to punish remaining players" is a straw man for "we should not be held accountable for hiring and enabling a cheater while he/she worked for our organization.
