The Ray Kroc of invisible fence who happens to come from our same cultural Tennessee background that gives a great damn about sports and winning. He gets it like few University Presidents typically can who come from a more traditional career academia background that naturally insulates them from fully recognizing the overall importance a solid athletic department will provide to schools like UT. He’s one of us and is exactly where he was meant to be. Strictly from a UT standpoint thank the heavens for Bill Lee riding his already established Middle TN name recognition to barely squeak out a win over him in that 2018 primary race. My only fear now is that he may very well leave UT fairly soon in pursuit of the Governorship once Bill Lee finishes his last term. Because let’s face it: if he truly wants to be the next Governor of Tennessee he has a damn good shot at being elected next cycle.
Danny White and Greg Sankey arrive together at the hearing today. That's a good thing right? I hope their words to the NCAA are "[uck fay] off or we'll end you." https://www.knoxnews.com/story/spor...football-ncaa-violations-hearing/70114933007/
Sure it's good. That is unless Sankey is there to tell them that you'll be fighting us and them if you step out of line.
I imagine no news means we are getting better news. Penalties, potential legal actions, violations worse than already reported, and such are all juicy bits that will likely find their way out, bad news for Pruitt being less interesting than bad news for the program.
It would seem a shorter meeting is better. If the NCAA says that the direction will be not to punish student athletes not involved in wrongdoing then this is the test. We nuked everyone involved…except Fulmer. I hope we put our nuts on the table and come out with an apology. Pipe dream but the NCAA does not care about student athletes. I guess I want it over but part of me wants it to blow up.
I found Tennessee brining up potential legal action by NIL sponsors interesting. The NCAA is painted into a corner. It's just whether they realize it or not. I'm to the point I want them to fight in court any additional penalties regardless how minor.
