Link below for those not aware.
I get it, we're trying to stay ahead of what the NCAA's likely punishment will be.
• They've self imposed
• Have gotten rid of all coaches, players, administrators, etc. that was involved.
• Completed internal investigation
• Didn't settle when Pruitts lawyer tried to use scare tactics
But self imposing scholarship reduction is STUPID. Especially when we're already SEVERELY lacking in depth.
Considering the state of the NCAA and how other schools are telling the NCAA to shove it, and the NIL deals, why are we bowing down in a time we should be standing up?
Only thing I can think of is expecting leniency in punishment and then hitting the portal hard after spring ball to game the scholarship numbers system.
“Tennessee Is Self Mandating Scholarship Reductions … How they’ve gotten there is by aging out those that have left and encouraging others to hit the portal. I hear Tennessee has hovered around a number in the low 70’s dating back to the beginning of each semester. The first day of classes Tennessee must be at their desired scholarship number. I hear the number is somewhere between 72-74 which will leave Tennessee locked out of the transfer market as they’re already at their number as you read this.
“The only way Tennessee could add a player like Trelon Smith is to either cut an existing player from their roster and thus send someone into the portal or encourage an early enrollee freshman to not enroll until May.”
What are yalls thoughts on this? Good move or bad?
