Former Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt has sued the NCAA and says he’s been “subject to an unfair, wrongful, and inconsistent NCAA investigation and ruling with potentially career-ending penalties.”

Pruitt was fired from his job with the Volunteers in January of 2021 after allegations of improper payments to players.
