Former Tennessee Football Coaches Under Jeremy Pruitt Receive Show-Cause Penalties; NCAA Will Hold Hearing On Further Sanctions
The Jeremy Pruitt era at Tennessee ended with the football program admitting to NCAA violations, now four former coaches receive penalties
www.outkick.com
According to a report, former Tennessee assistants Brian Niedermeyer, Shelton Felton, Drew Hughes and recruiting assistant Michael Magness have received their penalties. The NCAA has decided that each one will receive a show-cause penalty of 3-to-5 years, keeping them out of the college game. The ongoing dispute between the NCAA and Jeremy Pruitt continues, meaning they’ve not come to an agreement on his penalty.
All four of these coaches admitted to lying about their part in the infractions, which the NCAA describes as ‘Ethical Conduct’. During the investigation, Tennessee found 18 Level-1 violations, but the NCAA did not hit them with the dreaded ‘Lack of Institutional Control’. If the NCAA were have to levied this penalty, the results could have been much worse.
Since they aren't announcing Jeremy Pruitt's punishment that means the NCAA wants to hit him with "Lack of Institutional Control" which could put him out of the college game for a very long time if not an outright ban. Based on the other 4 we know it will be 3 to 5 years. This guy is a complete moron so my guess is he is doing pretty much everything wrong in negotiations with the NCAA and they are ready to throw the book at him especially since they have the full cooperation of UT and his assistants have already snitched. UT is going to get out of this without paying him a dime.
Hate to bust the bubble of the delusional Bammers but Pruitt isn't going to be at your school for a very long time if ever. I know you want him because you guys can't help yourself when it comes to criminals.
