So if the McDonald's kept coming?

Dan Wolken, who hates UT with a passion, essentially said Dan Patrick was full of sh-t with the McDonalds rumor...
My middle daughter works for McDonald's, and I have the real inside scoop.

Apparently, Pruitt had requested a Mcrib meal for 5 stars, a Big Mac meal (supersized) for 4 stars, and a regular Big Mac meal for 3 stars. Lower rated players were given happy meals, with choice of toy. The assistants got it all screwed up, and were getting quarter pounder meals, and apple pies, and that's when things went south.

I'm curious about the timing. Why are so many bailing NOW..? They don't know who the next coach will be or who the assistants will be.
Is this something they have to do right now or miss the opportunity..?
Thanks.
If we play guys that we know got impermissible benefits, it’s a continuing violation. Not saying everyone in the portal got McDonalds, but that’s my personal assumption.

Is this like when Fulmer brought Arian Foster a bag of tacos?

I think it's a little of both. there are some that do it for the perks, and there are some that have interest in a legacy, so you can't say every player has the same motivations.

The powers that be want the McDonald’s thing to go away since Dunkin and Chick-fil-A are official sponsors of University of Tennessee Athletics. The problem originated because money was given to the recruits as they were leaving their visits and Chick-fil-A isn’t open on Sundays

Would the porta jumpers have stayed? Mercenaries or VFLs ?
Pruitt’s second year season flip was LARGELY in part by the efforts of the seniors on our team...Warrior, Jennings, Bituli, Taylor, Callaway...finally became LEADERS. Really thought To’o To’o was all Vol...bleeding orange...a leader. All about his teammates and this program. Thought he’d be that next man after playing beside a beast like Bituli. That being said you want to leave go play at Florida, Georgia, Bama, or USC....go on good luck.
