Tennessee's football program must vacate all 11 wins from the 2019 and 2020 seasons under former coach Jeremy Pruitt as part of the penalties handed down by the NCAA stemming from recruiting violations, school officials told ESPN on Saturday.
Tennessee avoided a postseason ban but was hit with an $8 million fine by the NCAA -- believed to be the largest levied in an NCAA infractions case -- and placed on five years of probation, which includes the total reduction of 28 scholarships. The NCAA deemed that 16 players were ineligible when they played in those 2019 and 2020 games because of their involvement in what the NCAA said were more than 200 infractions committed during Pruitt's three seasons at Tennessee from 2018 through 2020.
