Tennessee has received its final punishment for the recruiting violations committed under Jeremy Pruitt’s watch. The investigation spanned nearly three years, but we finally have a final answer.
The biggest piece of this? Tennessee will AVOID a bowl ban. It never seemed to be on the table, considering how the University handled everything, but you never know with the NCAA.
Tennessee will receive five years probation and a reduction of 28 total scholarships during that span of time. Tennessee has already self-imposed 18 scholarship reductions over the last three recruiting cycles, so only ten remain.
