The NCAA has fined Tennessee $8 million and given former Volunteers coach Jeremy Pruitt a six-year show-cause penalty for what it said were 'hundreds' of NCAA violations that occurred under his watch.
KNOXVILLE, TN - NOVEMBER 02: Tennessee Volunteers head coach Jeremy Pruitt coaching during a game between the Tennessee Volunteers and UAB Blazers on November 2, 2019, at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, TN. The NCAA has fined Tennessee $8 million and given former Volunteers coach Jeremy Pruitt a six-year show-cause penalty for what it said were “hundreds” of NCAA violations that occurred under his watch.
“During these visits, members of the football coaching and recruiting staffs arranged and paid for hotel lodging, meals, entertainment and other inducements for the prospects and those who traveled to Knoxville with them,” the NCAA said. “The staff also involved enrolled football student-athletes in the scheme, asking them to act as hosts for the visiting prospects and providing them with cash to offset their hosting expenses.
The unnamed player played in 23 games for Tennessee and the NCAA said the Pruitt family continued to provide his mother with cash and financial assistance throughout the time he was on the football team. The school notified NCAA enforcement staff of the need for further inquiry and imposed significant corrective measures just a few months into its investigation, including terminating several coaches and staff involved in the violations and implementing scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions.
