OT: Tenn MBB NCAA violations
If it's gameday and No OT is in full effect, please remove
But, good to see a coach get hit directly from NCAA related issues (unlike Calipari who apparently can do no wrong)

All coaches docked 25% of their pay and some recruiting restrictions as well for lying to NCAA investigators. Penalties levied by UT

Is the NCAA finally enforcing some of their rules? or are all of these investigations and sanctions just coincidence?

and completely unrelated (but also not worthy of a whole thread) except for being in Tennessee, the football team doesn't know how to shower properly.

I just watched ESPN and Andy Katz said that the notice of allegations hadn't even been sent. So this self-imposed penalty was before any formal investigation had even been opened. Katz called it unprecedented. He also said that this is a tie in investigation also involving football. Presumably for activities taking place during the Lane Kiffin reign.
Pretty interesting. The NCAA seems a lot more aggressive the last couple years and it also seems like schools are working to hard on their own investigations and doing the self-imposed penalty route.

They could have had so many more of these!

NCAA may be developing some bite, as this is just a precourser to an investigation. Tennessee didn't want to get drilled. I wonder if it is also a benefit to the University that Bruce Pearl is still there and being hit hard with sanctions?
