The NCAA finally announced its ruling for the Tennessee football violations that occurred from 2018-20 under head coach Jeremy Pruitt. The violations included impermissible paid recruiting visits, direct payments to prospects, student-athletes and their families and unethical conduct.
The penalties include a six-year show-cause order for Jeremy Pruitt, show-cause orders for other staffers, a vacation of all records in which the student-athletes participated while ineligible, fines totaling more than $8 million, a reduction of scholarships, a reduction of official and unofficial visits, a recruiting communication ban, a reduction of evaluation days and five years of probation.
Per ESPN, the fine is believed to be the largest as a result of an NCAA infractions case.
