They were charged with 15 level 1 violations and many included current players. They didn’t even get a slap on the wrist. Money talks.
UT proves cheating is ok.
- Thread starter TNCatfanforever
- Start date
All of that staff is gone, and the majority of the players are gone. We self imposed a lot of scholarship restrictions, so we feel like we held ourselves accountable.
Kansas won a national championship in basketball and was caught on tape cheating. They self imposed a four game suspension for the coach that was caught cheating. The NCAA is toothless at this point. UK is the only program I know that self imposes crippling sanctions against themselves.
The staff is gone because they sucked, not because they cheated. You're still openly violating NIL rules and are one of the dirtiest programs around.
Half of this board wants to cheat and be just like them.
UT administration reported the violations so they could fire Brick by Brick without buy out his contract
You're thinking about The Champion of Life. Conehead was the one cheating.
For FIFTEEN Level 1 voluations? That's laughable that you think all should be square and handled.
Held yourself accountable yet 2 years later your #1 in the polls. Got it cheater.
We'll your'e right....skirting the rules is how you do it.
- Kansas is ridiculous to get a b-ball Natty with all that was in their backyard
- UNC basically was caught red handed with fake classes and walk away with a Natty in b-ball as well
- TN not only cheated in football but also got to fire their coach w/o a buyout (as if Pruitt was successful he'd have gotten fired for cheating).
- Auburn beats us in elite 8 with an assistant coach being fired for FBI wire taps in the fold
Etc...so long story short....cheat and build up your program (and if you get caught...then you'll only get a wrist slap). NCAA is a toothless organization. This is why Mitch being so silly on NIL and stuff like suspending CRod and Jordan Wright makes no sense.

Don't forget Kansas winning a title in 2009 with an ineligible player in Darrell Arthur and Auburn winning a football title with Cam Newton who they also bought. The moral of the story is to cheat and win because the NCAA doesn't care.....well except for U of L. 🤣
Pretty much lol the talking heads don’t care , the fans don’t care , the playoff committee doesn’t care . The only people who do are apparently the people who use righteous indignation as a excuse for losing . You can’t cheat if there are no rules just those you make up to support your own position.
Better example is Kansas basketball proved cheating is OK as it brought them an NCAA title last spring and in the end, their HC has to sit out a measly 4 regular season games to start this season. You think that was worth the gamble? Turns out it was ingenious.
Shows how things have changed. When Mumme was caught cheating UK did all the stuff your clan did....and more. Fired the coaches, reduced scholarships, pretty sure they took a bowl ban. So what does the NCAA do? Accepted UK's self-imposed punishments and ADDED to the number of scholarships taken away, may have even added another year to the bowl ban. Wasn't any crying over "punishing innocent players", it was just tough shit. Players involved in the cheating transferred to other schools, at least one, Montreal Jones, ended up at.....TN. I'm hoping, after the UNC, Kansas, U6, TN fiasco that UK starts cheating like a MFer.
The NCAA is a joke so I am for UT here anyway. They are never fair or consistent, but do something good for the community and by gawd they will bring down the world. The NCAA is a useless org at this point, only worried about money- its a business and not a governing body and now the major schools can hold the threat of leaving over their heads. So that is only going to get worse.
NCAA is a figurehead, whatever it takes to win I am 100% ok w it. Just win baby, it’s all that matters !!
One vol fan that finally admits it.
The nCaa needs to be dissolved as an organization with special tax status. There is no institutional nor member control. They know and have known that members cheat and have been paying athletes for decades. The irs needs to come after them for all of the back taxes they owe because they were not maintaining amateur status among the member institutions.
Let justice be served
Absolutely knew this would happen and all the others got to skate on Kansas's coattails. Been saying this for months and months. If this was UK we would get get the most serious penalty possible!
Baloney. Last year they were top bidders at a certain Marietta Georgia HS with Auburn.
God knows Kentucky never cheated in basketball
You're right on thus, but he was referring to Jones motto which you mentioned, being before the last guy they fired. I can't even remember the name of the previous coach (before Heupel) that bought the recruits with admins full awareness.

Pruiett’s staff was just really bad at the same things that all other schools were doing, and got caught. Now everything they did is called NIL.
They are violating the inducement rule. They are using NIL to induce recruits. Boosters paying/buying recruits with NIL deals is still a violation.
The university didn’t even endorse any NIL companies until yesterday when the NCAA said it was ok to. NIL deals can be offered to recruits as long as it is not through the school and the coaches and university aren’t offering the deal. You have first hand knowledge Danny white or plowman or heupel offered deals to recruits?
Some how the QB in California was offered 8 million dollars by someone several months ago. Most likely by the Haslims
They and every other school but us. Literally noone cares. The NCAA intends to hire one person, yes one, to investigate these and they already said they won't be requesting the actual agreements. That is telling you, all but expressly, they don't care.
UL literally cheated while on probation by trying to outright buy a player. Even recorded by the FBI, including the unforgettable line "we can't get caught doing this because we're already on probation". They got no real punishment.
In another post I likened it to driving 55 at rush hour but not even that covers it. It's like waiting at the corner of an empty street for the sign to say "walk" because you don't want to jaywalk.
I guess the NCAA thinks being dressed in orange is punishment enough, it's not. The NCAA's colors are yellow, everybody knows that.
Lol maybe that is who offered him the money. That’s still an alleged amount but I’d bet it’s close to accurate. He’s never said to my knowledge what endorsements he has to do to get that money. Every school nearly has a collective on the side doing this stuff now. Even Saban got up and said his team needed that too to his boosters. He was vague and a lot of alluding but he was talking about it. It’s an arms race at this point. Kentucky needs to do it too and I get the frustration with your ad and university if they seem to not to want any part of it. They are gonna have to or they will harm your athletics greatly. This is the reality we live in today. Honestly I am for nil and athletes being able to capitalize off of it (I know most Kentucky fans will say it’s because it’s benefiting my team and that is partially it but not all of it). Other schools have been doing their stuff behind the scenes for years and years to get players like Tua’s family loving to Tuscaloosa from Hawaii of all places and on and on. College football had become a 4 or 5 team championship and it was ruining football when those teams could stack 5 stars 4 deep or more at every position and were just dominating everyone else. This stops some of that. Those schools were getting away with way more than everyone else. The NCAA had turned a blind eye to bama, Ohio state, clemson and many more. In 4-5 years or so a lot of this will balance out and if a school chooses to embrace it and go with it they can have a legit shot at competing again with the top schools. Football is better when any school can win every Saturday. It flat out sucks going into every season knowing bama and Georgia already have the sec wrapped up and the rest of us don’t matter. It dukes knowing the playoff 4 before season even kicked off. Hopefully nil makes it much more balanced because as a fan I was done watching anything other than my team and even that was hard to do with much more than casualness because I knew we had no chance anymore. I want Kentucky and Arkansas and South Carolina and all the schools in the sec to be able to compete and make it enjoyable and exciting to watch their teams play and know they have a real chance to win any game
Lol u can’t be serious or this naive ! NCAA rule is over and has been for a while. Toothless w 0 authority. Nothing will happen to UT that hasn’t already happened. They would just tell the ncaa to “ pound sand “ and u know what will happen … nothing
