Pruitt’s staff was found to have violated multiple NCAA rules across his tenure as head coach and a ruling was officially levied against the program in recent weeks. Because Tennessee complied with the situation it was able to avoid a bowl ban for the current administration under Josh Heupel.

Don’t hear that one every day.
