NCAA investigation status

[SpaceCoastVol]

The NCAA is a brontosaurus just waiting for its meteorite to end it all.

NIL and the transfer portal is making sure the meteorite hits dead center.

 

[Volmeister]

Does Pruitts show cause start this year, or does he get credit for the past 2 years.

It probably starts this year.

 

[VolTookie]

Anyone know who is the booster that is listed in the ruling?

I'd like to know who also. And why the wife got off scot-free.

 

[SanDiegoDawg]

Honest question, was it worth it?

You did not have to pay off Pruitt, and $8 million and no bowl ban is the best you could probably hope for. However, the NCAA is toothless and basically admitted they would not have known if you had not told them. However, there is value in coming clean and knowing it is over.

The scholarship loss can be spread over many years, but the recruiting restrictions are fairly significant.

The penalty for 200 violations including 18 level one is light, but would there have any penalty if you had not self-reported?

 

[Volanooga2521]

Who are the players referenced. It seems like Henry T, Eric Gray for sure. Can’t tell beyond that.

 

[VAVol85]

So we got fined 8 million for doing what most big time programs have been doing for years now?

Lol

Except we did it at a smaller scale $65k total. Some schools allegedly dished that much to a single player.

Ole Miss received a bowl ban in 2018, with fewer Level One violations than what we have.

The difference is we did this investigation for the NCAA. And, apparently did a through job.

Ole Miss played dumb, Hugh Freeze did this

 

[VOL6479]

It's killing Pat forde we didn't get hit worse he wrote an article about it lol. Why does he hate UT so bad?

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Because he’s a loser from Kentucky, and he’s crying about it, just like the merry band of losers from KSR.

In other news, the most on brand thing you’ll read today…



Can’t make this stuff up w/ Wolken

 

[LWSVOL]

Take the buyout money Fulmer stole from the school and pay the fine with that.

Hope that good for nothing egomaniac is never allowed at another athletic event again

He has a standing invitation to visit football complex and practices from the coaching staff. He is there frequently talking ball with coaches, to their delite.

 

[LWSVOL]

Imo, a one year bowl ban would have been better than all those recruiting penalties. Those will hurt, especially visits

 

[SpookyAction]

Good Point. I wondered also.
Can the NCAA sanction a non-employee of a university?
They can, but I suspect her penalty was bundled into her husband's. She is a non-actor if her spouse has the show-cause for half a decade.
That is a guess why she was not named, when specific boosters have been named and prohibited in past infraction discipline.

I hope we'll put on an electric show on the field that'll do our recruiting for us.

Plowman had no choice but to report what she had been presented with to the NCAA. A member of the staff gave her undeniable proof of players being paid. If she tells him to keep his mouth shut and he goes to the NCAA Committee on Infractions with what he has ... her career is ruined.

As long as the team is winning, those restrictions are manageable. It does place a high emphasis on player evaluation though ... and only recruiting players we have a good chance of landing. We can't be taking official visits from, or doing in-home visits with, long shot 5 star players from Arizona.

Where does the money go that the NCAA collects?

Whomever blew the whistle wasn’t going to follow up if Plowman ignores what landed on her desk? Anyone who follows history knows the fit hits the shan way worse after a COVERUP. And if the NCAA didn’t put in their dentures, the SEC’s choppers are always sharp.

Thank you. I did not know that. That certainly explains why Tennessee had to report.

Yes. How much does the Vols make on a post season game? Almost enough to pay the "fine". Look ,the NCAA just shook the Vols down , play the post-season game, dont hurt the athletes...but show us da money!....Pruitt will never get paid. To bad there is no way to go after Cornbread for the $8 million.

"Their Retirement"

Don't know... don't care.

No it won't. It's a speedbump, not a roadblock.

And a bowl ban would have been disastrous.

I've seen some decent arguments for not going ban bowl. I will be interested to see how the recruiting restrictions impact going forward.
