For a chance at 1/3 of $100 million, there are a lot of attorneys who would spend some time making filings, etc., to see what might stick. If nothing else, the lawsuit costs the NCAA money to defend, making him feel better that he got some "justice".

Notice where the suit was filed, DeKalb County, Alabama.

Fulmer should have to give Poot half of his second buyout from UT because he hired his sorry ass. Both are the gift that keeps on giving.

Every time the name/image of Beldar resurfaces, I’m incredulous to think that Fulmer handed him the keys to fort Neyland as the “fixer” of the program.

If I remember correctly, most of our fan base was applauding the move at the time. The Schiano/Pruitt saga wasn't one of our better moments as a fanbase.

Interesting that he only sued the NCAA and not us, considering the conspiracy allegations. This guy is such a dumbass. He’ll never get a college coaching job ever again

He is going to need $100M to pay off all of the lawyers he has hired trying to clear his name. Just chasing rabbits down a hole. He was caught red-handed.

Fans have no real power in such decisions and receive no compensation. There were a lot of errors in judgment made by several involved in the process but fans are at the bottom of the blame list.

I get it, but just saying it is easy to throw Fulmer under the bus in hindsight for the hire when most of us were applauding it at the time.

What attorney is taking this on? Pruitt can't have much left to pay an attorney out of pocket and I can't think this is likely to succeed where a firm could collect a contingency fee. At best he might get a minimal nuisance settlement.

I notice his complaint says he was dismissed for things no longer “illegal “. I’m no attorney but I think it’s not a matter of illegally but if violated the bylaws of the NCAA.

Dude had the worst timing ever. He supposedly handed out a total of $60,000. A year and a
half after he’s fired, one player is getting $8 million. I’d be chapped about that too.

Pruitt with the nuclear option.

How much will the NCAA, SEC, and various schools pay me not to dig up the bodies from the pre-NIL days?

No, as a matter of fact, I don't care if I never work in football again beyond the high school level. Pay me or I'll take a big steamy one all over the old SEC way of doing things. Your move.

It's a d*ck move. There seems to be a lot of that going around in college athletics these days.

Meh. The guy had the resume. Kinda figured in his interview presser we had problems though lol.

Still cheered for him to succeed and defended him until the end-or near it anyway. The same as I would any coach/player that signed up for the craziness of UT football.

We were certainly not the first program to whiff on a HC-we just had a particular talent for doing it 4 times in a row.

Reading the other poster saying the Schiano/Pruitt debacle was not our best moment. Pruitt-I agree. We made a bad call.

Schiano Sunday though-I'm proud of it. Sorry. We stood up and said enough is enough. The pundits are the ones who hated it and could not believe we disagreed with "their" opinion of who should represent us. I have talked with CFB fans across the country and they all pretty much admire us for that in a weird way-regardless of their thoughts on UT.

In the bitter end, I fully expect a healthy dose of drama to always follow UT football. Not sure I would really have things any other way lol.

In a matter of 3-4 years, Pat Forde tried to gaslight the world that Tennessee fans had ruined their programs long term only to have Rick Barnes turn Tennessee into a regular top 3-4 seed every year and Heupel fastracking back to relevance.

It’ll start with the NCAA but if he wins; Tennessee will be next in line.

If he has any receipts at all that support his collusion allegations along with supporting his claims that Fulmer and the university were complicit; this will be very bad… If it can be proven the NCAA uncovered university involvement and covered it up; it’s an easy win for Pruitt. Hopefully this all gets thrown out.

It's still an NCAA violation for a coach to directly hand a player cash. And there were other violations including impermissible contact and visits.

It looks to me like he is angling to get his Show Cause rescinded so he can coach CFB again. He was a good Defensive
Co-ordinator and would be in demand and paid well. The NCAA may be in a position where they give in and give him a reprieve.
I don't take the monetary amount seriously. Just posturing.
