Tennessee with 18 level 1 violations
- Thread starter Cardinals19701
- Start date
But they can still go to a bowl game.
Hundreds of violations occurred in Tennessee football program over 3 seasons
Taking into consideration the board's guidance and the school's cooperation, the panel therefore declined to prescribe a postseason ban in this case. However, "to redress the severe and sustained misconduct" that occurred, the panel prescribes an enhanced financial penalty, with a fine of $8 million that is equivalent to the financial impact the school would have faced if it missed the postseason during the 2023 and 2024 seasons. The panel also prescribed the legislated fine of $5,000 plus 3% of the football program budget and a fine to address the ineligible competition in the 2020 TaxSlayer Gator Bowl Game.

McDonalds is my kind of place !
As I have always said, the dirtiest program of all time. Not saying others are not cheating but no one cheats like the Orange. Karma always wins.
Tennessee doesn't even make the top 15.
Only money part hurts. Dosen't affect the day to day program at all. Business as usual.
That's $444K per violation.
Gonna play hell on secondary sports budgets b/c the FB budget sure as hell will not be reduced.

that was from 2012, pretty sure you guys will break in now
. The one top 15 ranking you actually belong in.Then you gotta lot of cheating left in you.
Considering they also have to pay 3% of the football budget, I'm sure some numbers fudging will occur to give the appearance they are reducing it.
This is the bunch who's funneling TV money to alums to shoot back to TN athletics as NIL. Fudging the books is an art form to them.
They're pulling up articles from 2012 to defend themselves 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder how many different forums TN fans visited today to defend that rats nest of a program. I mean you have to try to get over to a basketball schools football forum. Suckers are like rats.
Basically no punishment. The bowl cut will cover that fine and then some. Pathetic
This is a mole hill vs a mountain punishment for them. NCAA just keep sending the messages to all college sports cheating is just fine.
Did they miss on every single recruit they paid or what? I thought paying players resulted in vacated games.
The real loser of this is again Louisville basketball. I can’t say I’m sad about them
Losing a championship but they should have gotten UNC and Tenn lawyers.

Not only is cheating just fine, getting caught ain't no biggie.
Plowman is smiling while the school takes it up the butt. I guess it doesn't matter if you cheat and have no morals. She should be upset and making sure it doesn't happen again, but the rest of the stinky Orange goes along with her I guess.

I get what they were doing was illegal at the time, and technically still illegal for coaches to had out money. But the amount of money changing hands was peanuts to what is going on now. I dislike the vols as much as anyone, more than most because it's a trash program in every sport not just one or two. But with what's going on today out in the open I don't think they should have been hit too hard, but I would have been OK if they got the death penalty.
They're one of, if not the worst, of the current offenders when it comes to paying players to entice enrollment (the only thing not allowed by the NCAA).
Also this is probably unfortunately a precursor to the basketball rulings too on the pre nil payments
After the last 100 or so years of being a leader in cheating and this is all they got... Thank you NCAA butt wipes, do your damn job or leave.... Time to form another FB only sanctioned lead to make up new rules to go by and make everyone that belongs stand by those rules... Tell the NCAA no more money from us and go crap to bed with the NAIA or some other crappy league...

Tennessee must vacate all 11 wins from '19, '20
Tennessee must vacate all 11 of the Volunteers' wins from the 2019 and 2020 seasons under former coach Jeremy Pruitt as part of the NCAA's penalties stemming from recruiting violations during his three-year tenure, school officials told ESPN on Saturday.
This is how the University of Tennessee got off … the State of Tennessee flexed and the NCAA blinked
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti threatened legal action against the NCAA if it had given the University of Tennessee football team a postseason ban in the Jeremy Pruitt recruiting scandal, documents show.
The weapon was a new state law protecting college players’ right to earn money from name, image and likeness.
It was amended during the investigation to match UT’s needs. And it was leveraged by UT to produce a favorable verdict from the NCAA.
The NCAA did not give the Vols a bowl ban. So that legal battle won’t take place.

Well our Attorney General is an ex UL player, so do not look for any help or bluff tactics on our behalf. In fact shoot an EMT in their sleep and this guy will find a way to let dirty officers walk b/c he’s a D list actor with goals beyond his ability.
But they’ll settle a car jacking/ robbery and Knoxville will crown them king for “ beating”
the rap. Whilst out LPD cops are lurking to destroy our players.
The NCAA is a paper tiger/ emperor with no britchies/ inconsistent and biased. I just hate we were forced to comply with their rules while UNCheat- UT - oadMisst & Miami walk scott free.

No doubt about them being one of the worst. Would be the worst if they could afford it. Another in th East that is bad is Missouri. They don't buy many but they single 1 or 2 out and go after them. It was a WR last year, and they got him, supposedly their cash is coming from some Walmart heirs, but I thought they were Arkansas people.
