Thank you, you guys are finally admitting that you want to blatantly cheat like other programs instead of making up BS about UK not supporting NIL. UK supports NIL, UK doesn't support blatantly breaking rules like the dirty programs yall love propping up.
UT proves cheating is ok.

Either you are Mitch himself, an employee of the athletic department, or a troll. There are no other options.
There’s not any cheating when the ncaa got forced to say NIL was ok and they couldn’t restrict student earnings. None of us know what goes on with schools, recruits and collectives. We all have speculation and figure they probably aren’t going by the rules. We all also think the NCAA is toothless at this point. Kentucky and the rest of the schools need to get on board and conform to what we have now or they get left behind. I like a competitive balance and with the format we had that hadn’t been in years plus I think students should be able to profit off of theirselves and it shouldn’t be just universities making money off of them. Yes I know the scholarship is payment but schools make millions off these kids so why shouldn’t kids get some of what they brought in?
Actually a pretty good post.... but I'm sorry to be the grammar police but I have to say that paragraphs are your friend when making a lengthy post.
It’s ok. Typing fast at work on a phone. I’ll take the grammar criticism. My main point was NIL is here. It can benefit teams that are not traditional powers to catch up to teams like bama and Ohio state. The portal can do the same. Parity makes college football much more enjoyable when your team has a prayer of winning against the big boys. Kentucky and everyone other team who haven’t won the sec in many years can use these tools to their advantage so instead of hating on them embrace them.
I agree plus I'm ready to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to win and to win big. Cheat, cheat, cheat...UNC, Kansas, et al have proven cheating pays so it's time UK cheats like hell.
I can’t disagree with that really. I’m not crazy about the whole outright cheating but I know what it’s like to starve as a fan for winning. I think it’s all a freaking joke anyway. Every big time athlete at a major university has received some form of illegal compensation somehow. That’s my opinion. It was wrong for universities to make millions and millions off of players and not give them anything more than school paid for from it. NIL just made it legal for kids at schools to get it without having to hide it and we all know there were 4 or 5 schools around the country allowed to be extra dirty about that more so than others. Lots here will say Tennessee and I’m sure we did our fair share like everyone else but if you wanna know who was the worst about it look at the ones who have been on top for year after year and cried the most about nil ruining college sports. They don’t care about that but they do care about losing their huge advantage they had. It’s not about education or students. It’s about money and winning. Period. Just like I don’t think some of the lauded “great” coaches are better than others. Almost none of these coaches got to this level by being average or not as good coaches. Put simply I don’t think Saban teaches or coaches anything mark stoops or any other major d coach doesn’t know. He just had better players. NIL evens that up I think.
One thing I must say, you and I share the same cynical opinion.
There is no cheating any more. Bill Self got same punishment Chris Rodriguez did, lol.
Hey, remember that time Kentucky almost got the death penalty over an alleged $1,000 that never even materialized as real?

Gets obvious at some point when you see the players parking lot at the practice faculty of schools and kids from poor areas that grew up with very little are all driving brand new dodge chargers and putting pics of them holding stacks of money and all kinds of other pics. I mean let’s get real. What is in Columbus or Tuscaloosa or at Clemson or at some of these other schools that’s drawing kids in? Doubt it’s “the family atmosphere” they are building there.
Can we please move on from Tennessee... they are coming out of this clean ... good gawsh the Orange Depraved Syndrome runs high on this board.
I have a suspicion TN's funneling TV money to boosters then boosters funneling it to NIL.
Really, everyone was handing out money Inc McDonald's bags? How about providing proof of that, admit you are making it up or admit being a liar.
October 13, 2017 all their teeth fell out when the biggest cheaters of all time led by the fraud of the biggest fraud were allowed to walk. The day the NCAA died.
I did not read all of this, (really do not care about the vol lurkers that would defend the actions).
Eventually doing wrong and defending wrong catches up, always looks good for a season but karma finds it way.
Season is yet to be fully written so lets see how it plays out.

I would imagine that the guilty parties, Pruitt and the assistants involved, will be punished for their actions by receiving 'show causes' for x number of years, as they should
Cmon, TN not knowing about this or at least not having institutional control is something that will be attoned. Add in the rape cases that was pushed under the rug amongst other things and it is very clear this program (fans included) will do whatever it takes to win. Also, GO BACK TO YOUR BOARD.
NCAA said there was no lack of institutional control. Also, AJ Johnson and his roommate were not guilty of rape. The girls lied. That is known. What are the odds of both accusers 'losing' their phones when the defense attorneys subpoened the phones?
Also, this is a public free board. I will visit unless the board mods tell me I can't. But if seeing my posts triggers you I guess you can hit the ignore button
Just go back to your own board, like why are you here? Is your cousin/wife not talking to you? There are plenty of TN rednecks on forums you can talk to. I just cannot ever see my self going to another board to discuss sports. You trying to beat your chest (it's not 1998 and that was a backup qb anyways)? I mean no likes TN here, it is the dirtiest program of all time. The fact you come over here to defend it so much kinda proves the point.
R O F L, I looked at your history of messages. Dude you have got some issues.
TN fan that lives on a Kentucky forum. This has to be the saddest thing I have seen in a long time.
I hate to ignore you because every post I read from this point will just make me chuckle. Seeing you here just confirms everything I feel about this program is right. Sad little man is sad.
I wouldn't expect you to like UT. I don't like UK. We are fans of 2 programs within the same division of the same conference, competing against each other, as well as other programs, to get to the top.
Ok, I'll bite. Explain to me how me defending UT against your accusations "proves" UT is dirty?
AJ Johson and Michael Williams were acquitted in 2018 by a jury that included 7 women, so the jury, including those women, certainly felt the accuser's charges were baseless.
Oh no. What a terrible thing to chat on other teams' messageboards.
I visit other team's messageboards as well. Some fans like to engage respectfully and discuss football, but there are always some that are too insecure to do so, such as yourself. Again, if I bother you, ignore me
Dude, you are living on our forums. Like a Democrat living in trumps house obsessed of some sort.
Over 200 messages here and I barely see any on other forums. Like a girl crush thats not interested telling you to stay away yet you just can't. I live here so I understand the obsession a bit, it's like everything that happens to Kentucky they flood my phone or come running in the office. But when Georgia or Bama beats the breaks off you or us the year before last they scatter like rats.
And to the allegations every fan here in TN is just like you, they shrug it off as no big deal. And when big news hits it goes under the rug so fast it makes your head spin. We had our years of shame but can at least admit it and took a post season ban. BUT 15 lvl 1 violations and rape charges, safety beating a guy that came in house drunk uknowningly and nothing. So much money being thrown at these issues for cover ups.
If TN wins the championship this year then maybe it was all justified. But if they lose in a heartbreaker my finger will easily point at karma.
If you are going to post this much on a KY forum you might as well become a KY fan. Why not? At least you will get a decent color and mascot.
200 posts over a roughly 3 year period is not really that much. I post here in spurts, as I do other boards.
Well, this is interesting. You fuss at me for visiting this board while now admitting Yyou yourself visit other boards.
No one is denying the allegations. But times have changed and appears now the NCAA will look to punish those who committed the violations rather than punishing the school and the players who had nothing to do with the violations, as long as there is no evidence the school was involved. As far as the rape charges, again, the players were acquitted by a jury, so there's that.
LOL. Mccullough might be guilty, he might not. That will be determined jn court. All you have is the accuser's side of the story. McCullough says different.
