Tennessee, Former Coach Jeremy Pruitt, NCAA Set To Battle Over Infraction Penalties: How Did We Get Here?

Tennessee has a fight on its hands in two weeks with the NCAA, while football coach Jeremy Pruitt is hoping to reduce his own penalty.

Jeremy Pruitt, Tennessee, NCAA In A Room All Together

In what might be the most intense interaction in recent college athletics history, all three parties will be together in Cincinnati. Pruitt, who is fighting to have his punishment reduced from the preliminary idea, will sit across from Tennessee lawyers who have been digging up dirt on him for years. All the while, Pruitt will be looking to implicate Tennessee and show the NCAA that the school was also not squeaky clean during his time in Knoxville.

Since launching the investigation, Tennessee has made it clear its relationship with the NCAA was on solid footing. They are working together to solve the problems in a timely manner. What this hearing proves is that the enforcement staff might've been on the Vols side, but the committee on infractions doesn't see it the same way. And they will be the ones dishing out the punishment.

The Vols Hoped To Avoid This Meeting

For the last two years, Tennessee has done everything it can to prevent a hearing. But not being able to come to a resolution should speak volumes about how the committee on infractions feels. The hope was that they would agree with the self-imposed punishment. But you can throw that 'working relationship' out the window now.

The plea deal is off the table. Tennessee now will have to present its case to a committee that had nothing to do with the investigation over the past two years. The Vols aren't going in-front of this committee to argue over small penalties. There's a reason why this is headed for what will feel like a court room.

"We found a handful of classified documents were filed in the wrong place ... We immediately turned them over to the Archives and the Justice Department," the president said. At one point visibly frustrated, Biden reiterated that he was "fully cooperating and looking forward to getting this resolved quickly.

Where does it say anything about ALABAMA or anything in the NCAA Violation Charges or investigation about ALABAMA?

Doesn't sound like he is going to be talking about anything Crimson Colored :)
