Jeremy Pruitt bout to sing on UcheaT boosters

Biggest mistake Pruitt ever made. If you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.
Good. I hope he wins. I find it absolutely insane that he's not allowed to coach football, but Will Wade and Sean Miller just got shiny new jobs on the basketball side, and they were both implicated in that FBI investigation. Even on the football side, you've got guys like Hugh Freeze coaching like that stuff at Ole Miss never happened. The NCAA can't enforce any of their own rules, so they're taking it out on Pruitt, so they can flex their power and show they're still in control. I hope he wins and the NCAA has to declare bankruptcy. That would be a win for all of us.
If Pruitt would have stayed our DC he would probably be considered one of the All-Time greats in CFB.
I’ve never been a coach, so I struggle with understanding why Elite COs are never satisfied with being the Best… they HAVE to try and be a HC.
Saban would also probably have 1 more title.
I get why they do it. These coaches are most of the time super confident guys, so in their mind they aren't going to fail. I think it was Josh Pate who said this when people were questioning why anyone would want to be the one to replace Saban , but there are coaches currently in college football right now who fully believe that they're better than Nick Saban (as crazy as that sounds), and that they just haven't had an opportunity to show it yet. They don't go in thinking they're going to fail.

And in other news: Rash of computer servers on the UT campus unexpectedly spontaneous combust.
So what if he does name names? And so what if one or more of them admit it in court? What they did wasn't illegal in the criminal or civil sense. Only in the sense of the NCAA rules on eligibility....IOW, a prohibition against playing professional players.
None of those exist anymore.
The NCAA's authority to levy and enforce a show-cause strikes me as an entirely different issue. I never understood how they could do that anyway.
The possibility of the NCAA and Fulmer conspiring is also interesting. Fulmer almost certainly gave us up to the NCAA in exchange for them sweeping both the T Martin and the academic fraud issues under the table. It's no big leap to think he gave up Pruitt in exchange for skating himself and thereby getting to keep his seven-figure goodbye kiss from UTe.
Still, given where we are in college sports, I don't see the significance of naming boosters. Even if he has irrefutable hard evidence that they did pay players.

Ex-Vols coach Pruitt sues NCAA, seeking $100M
Former Tennessee football coach Jeremy Pruitt has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking $100 million and claims it conspired with the university to make him a "sacrificial lamb."

Wouldn't mind seeing this become really nasty.
Hope he doesn't commit suicide by falling down his stairs repeatedly.
Pruitt. Hope he doesn’t get Logan Young’d
He better have the receipts from the boosters or he will be covered up in defamation cases the next day...

Given the rules, such as they are today, on what grounds?
It seems to me that if boosters can admit to having paid players back in the day with impunity, they can’t be defamed by such accusations.
IOW, even if the evidence is soft, where’s the defamation?

I think you mean up his stairs. That's what I recall.
The problem is that none of what he was fired over and crucified by the ncaa is related to boosters. It is because he, his staff, and his wife were accused of directly paying players… which is still against the rules today. So aside of causing Tennessee a mild sinus headache, what is the goal here?
Hello folks Cult of Pruitt here. Anyone thinking that Jeremy came to UT and devised an elaborate cheating program is clueless. He picked up where the last coach and staff left off and the POC Fulmer is just a guilty.
Agreed. I know he's suing for $100 million. But I'm guessing the real aim is to get at least some of his buyout, which UTe refused to pay.
I just don't see where threatening to name boosters who paid players, or actually doing that, gets him closer to the goal.
The circumstances around Young's death and the destruction of the lawyer's office (his name escapes me at the moment) are suspect.
But there's no reason for UTe or some yahoo boosters to do that to Pruitt. At least, not because he might go public with specific names. Even if boosters are named, and even if Pruitt has it on video, backed up by bank records (which I doubt he does), the NCAA is 0-for-its-last-zillion court cases and has already said they wouldn't investigate pay-for-play that took place before the O'Bannon decision.
He might be able to fix it where boosters had to dis-associate?
