This tweet has me worried

it’s obvious Teddy KGB sold the debt to Grama.

 

I agree it feels unfair but everyone in the AD is eager to put this behind them and move on.

Edit: I should add I don’t have any inside information on this. Just what I’ve gathered from reading the reporting.

 

8 million feels like a shakedown just because they can. Probably calculated the exact amount they could get away with where it wouldn't be worth it to fight them.

 

What kind of fine did LSU get for Wade's "strong ass offer"?

 

their rationale was what missing a bowl game would cost us.

 

-do we or will we know player names?
-have any of these prospects or players who received benefits played for Heup?

 

Oh I guess that makes more sense.

 

Look at it this way - it's the cost of hitting the reset button for 20 years of sheer incompetence of the AD and in some ways the university as a whole.

 

Not just what we’d lose in a bowl ban but what the entire league would lose in a bowl ban since all revenue is shared. That’s why I think Sankey was there on our behalf.

 

I get the rationale for just moving on and I realize these things will not really impede the program at this point, but on principle I think this needs to be challenged. And I know y'all will think I am an idiot, but specifically the ban on purchasing advertising during a bowl. That is absurd. They have no right to limit a University's speech.

 

we can write that check from liquor sales at one home game

 

Probation concerns me. We are already at one or two strikes so one asst coach doing something minor could affect Heup and co. Other schools aren’t worried about the same thing and can be more “aggressive” so to speak.

 

The idea Pruitt could down in the books 0-35 is funny.

 

Reminder - none of this happens if John Currie actually did his job instead of taking the next coach Sexton offered him.

 

What’s ol Volspix got to say about all this

 

This this this

And while it may not be a legal argument, if I were AD I’d have spies and PI’s digging shit up to point out the absurdity of Tennessee being punished for Pruitt’s misdeeds when he was simply cloning the PrOceSs he learned from Saban and Smart. Hell there is confirmed public record of greater illicit benefits in Tuscaloosa than what occurred here. Again I say, tell ‘em to f**k off.

 

Yep, even in NIL world this still matters.

 

From a financial standpoint, we got rid of a bad coach who had a $12,000,000 buyout for a fine of $8,000,000 plus legal fees. I don't know what the total legal bill is, but I doubt it's $4,000,000.

 

That's a good point.

 

It all seems a bit excessive for me.
