NCAA hits UT football with additional Probation/Penalties?

[Volnbeers]

Meanwhile, auburn.

Someone is going to find a way to blame this on Dooley.

 

[FootVolintheFall]

Who is the booster that Willie Mack Garza conspired with?

Per UT Sports: Because Lyles arranged the trip for Seastrunk, the NCAA classified him as a booster of the University.

I understand the violation occured at TN, but am equally befuddled that USC gets off on this one because Garza tried to lie twice to the NCAA about the details of the trip until he was provided with the financial proof subsequent to the Aug 2011 interview. At that time, he was allowed to "resign." Isn't hindering a NCAA investigation part of what USC got in trouble for in the first place?

Now that Tennessee got extra probation for their dealings with Willie Lyles, I assume Oregon will get slammed sometime next week...

...oh wait, Oregon is ranked #1 and stands to make a lot of people and institutions a bunch of money. Nothing to see here.

Indeed.

Where are all the Kiffin apologists on this one? That dude's a ****ing disease. Would be hilarious if he loses to ND and UCLA and gets canned by Haden.

 

[PrattvilleVol]

The gift that keeps on giving.

Ding ding ding.

It all goes back to Mike Hamilton. The University needs to sue him to get back that million dollar buyout he got.

Please tell me this is the last gift we get from the LK era.

Sounds like being #1 is a good problem to have.

Tennessee football program cited for recruiting violations - NCAA.org

So, the penalties for official visits and evaluation days only affects the current staff... must be why they are dragging their feet on firing Dooley. They were waiting on the penalties to come out.

 

[Donvolson]

I just heard UT got additional punishment from the NCAA. it has to do with Willie Mack Garza(2009). Can anyone confirm this? Why are they not punishing Kiffen? Why the F did the NCAA wait so long? Frustration continues

 

[Donvolson]

Sorry. Just saw other thread

Yep, another good reason to fire "the current staff"...they are restricted...lulz!

This doesn't make any sense. Chaney is the only one that was even here when the violations took place.

I can understand punishing the school and the former staff, but to punish the current staff seems beyond absurd.

 

[Volnbeers]

Is it any surprise that the NCAA drops this right before a coaching search?

 

[Negateer]

OK, they're the result of the Lane Kiffin era

two more years of probation, reduction of 4 official visits, evaluation days & complimentary tickets for recruits on unofficials

I can't wait until Kiffin gets fired from USC. Gonna lmao.

 

[SGMVols]

Double jeopardy much, NCAA? I don't see these penalties being much of a detriment at the end of the day, though.

 

[s1216]

I guess that rules out Garza for Gruden's staff

 

[Donvolson]

We don't deserve this much bad crap to happen

 

[davethevol]

This is a slap on the wrist. The biggest thing is the addition of 3 more years to the probation.

 

[Negateer]

""'At issue in the penalty hearing was whether the penalty in the 2011 case would have substantially differed had the facts of this case been known at that time, whether the University should be punished for unethical conduct by a former staff member working at another institution"""

See, this is BS. If the NCAA punished the current employers of violators, you'd see this kind of thing less and less. First off, no one would hire someone who's skinning out of another job while the NCAA is hot on their heels

I'd understand it if he left coaching, but ffs, he's working at another school, right now.

Why are we being punished?

To be honest, I'm ready for the SEC to leave the NCAA, and form our own league.

Fk the NCAA. This is getting really, really stupid.

 

[tim]

Ahem, 180 k ring a bell NCAA?

 

[vols-1]

Why are we being punished?
.

Because Mike Hamilton ran a culture of corruption at UT.
