50 violations?

[Zues1]

Sounds like Pruitt threw the recruiting handbook in the garb on day 1. No oversight, accountability, and no progress. Fulmer should be held somewhat accountable too. And where was the compliance department during all this nonsense.

Happened on his watch, same as Pruitt

Pruitt can finally say he hung 50 on a P5 team. #resumebuilder

This only solidifies my belief that Sonny Dykes will be hired. Sheesh.

You couldnt of messed it up this bad unless you were trying to get caught. I just cant believe the whole athletic department had no idea. I like phil but he has to be held accountable for this mess to some degree. It shows that the University is napping on the job.

I think I read more like 35k per month for three years. Ballpark of $1M. Nice ballpark.

You're probably right. It's been several days back, but I thought it was 11 months. Yeah, I would take the "ballpark" all day long. Lol

**Edit** Yeah I went back and found my original post on this, you are correct.

Most likely and its because our athletic department incompetent its no wonder we hire the coaches weve had and now we might have to hire. Just glad we got Rick Barnes proof they can get it right once in a great moon.

We fired a crap ton of people and have players leaving like crazy, give a one or two year bowl ban and NCAA will call it a day, hell Will Wade is still coaching players.

*paying players

If it's 3 level 1s and 47 level 2s we'll be ok. If there's more than 10 level ones... Oh boy...

White is probably going to turn the athletic department upside down and inside out by the time hes done. Hes probably thinking what the hell have you guys been doing!? Lets be honest you dont hire coaches like Dooley or Butch or Pruitt if your a competent program. Now with the violations we might get lucky to land someone worth landing.

 

[N.ohio vol]

Why is Fulmer collecting a check. It was his job to keep this from happening.

I thought they did him a favor by not firing him but im sure hes happy with almost 38,000 a month until 2023.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Yeah its pretty embarrassing. Makes it look like our program has been led by amateurs.

It has been

 

[killer12]

nope this was a professionally planned gutting of the program

I think white has alot of work to do. Unfortunately alot of people will blame him in the near future for things thats been going on for a long time. I believe he'll get things straightened out but it wont be over night.

Heard this from a (well known) D1 coach. Is this for real? Pruitt was stupid and I hope they pay him nothing. He finished destroying UT football.

Ramon Foster just said on 104.5 that it’s a lot worse than we realize. He said Pruitt and Neidmeyer should never be allowed to coach again if what he has heard is true.

He kind of alluded that they wouldn’t have uncovered this mess if they new it was this deep but once you start can’t stop. Should have just fired Pruitt and moved on IMO.

Will Wade is still coaching the same players that he paid to obtain.

And will is on tape. Making the offer. Nothing done.

It will be like an episode of „hoarders“. Going to get really disgusting whilst he has to dig through the accumulated trash to start the clean up. No telling what kind of stomach churning detritus will be uncovered.

I bet Dan doesn't realize what he has gotten into. Same as Germy when he took over - a **** show.

That number means very little unqualified. Typically multiple players involved in the same situation (e.g. Academic misconduct) is rolled up into one violation.

sorry, too easy of a pun

 

[GMRobbins]

If the fifty violations are bad enough, it's not only Pruitt and Fulmer, but the whole UT Administration that needs a good cleaning. Geeeez, how embarrassing is this for the university?? More heads need to roll! Very disappointed that my few alumni bucks go towards such a $hit$how!

I'm ok with 50 as long as 49 of them were minor.

Yeah thats why we'll probably be lucky to land an average coach and when that happens theyll be calling for danny whites head. Thier will probably be no simple solution. I feel sorry for him already.

Not sure they know how embarrassing this is if your not outside of knoxville about to watch the fireworks off. This isnt just a coach problem this is the whole administration problem. Not sure the higher ups get this..
