Negotiated resolution. Singled out Felton and Niedermeyer for giving false or misleading statements. Does 3-5 sound like they won the negotiation?

Interesting that they have chosen to separate the case between the school and former coaches. I don’t know if that helps us or hurts us but then punishing the coaches first definitely means something. I wish they would get on with it already so we can stop wondering.

From the article:

The university and NCAA have not come to an agreement on a resolution despite months of negotiations. However, the association is bifurcating the case, a new method of bringing closure to some parties in an investigation while other elements of a case remain contested. Bifurcation was one of the recommendations made last summer by the NCAA transformation committee to speed up the association’s dawdling infractions process.

That's worse than I expected. Cornbread will probably get a 10 year show cause. They probably "negotiated" with Niedermeyer and Company to flip on Pruitt, but hopefully not Fulmer.

Bamawriter was confident Pruitt would get only a year show cause and be able to return triumphantly to the Bama D Coord position next year. Not looking likely with these penalties.

All over $60k in impermissible benefits over 3 YEARS!? Thats nutz. History will look back on this and wonder WTF they were talking about with the huge sums of cash in college sports now.

Looks like the underlings took the deal. Pruitt can't because they want a lifetime or 10 year ban and UTADMIN is telling NCAA to go F themselves, since they already did a lot of the self policing.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Pruitt get a 10 year show cause. After all he was the one reportedly instructing his assistants, plotting and scheming to cover it all up, and handing out cash in front of the wrong people...........Really dumb, especially if you're going to treat people as disrespectfully as he supposedly did.

If he indeed lied to the UT admin and actively deceived them, then he deserves to take the brunt of the punishment.

I can see the individuals being hit hard as a good sign for UT. One of the accepted facts is that the coaches involved actively behaved in a manner to conceal their dealings from UT staff. That shows there were institutional controls in place that these staff members had to circumvent.

I would be more inclined with a massive fine rather than a bowl ban. I'm more of a punish the people involved rather than the innocent. I see a bowl ban as the latter.

Bowl ban, vacating wins, scholarship and recruiting reductions, monetary fines, is what I just heard on Fox Sports Knoxville.
