The Tennessee football team had 200 violations in their football program. They are paying a big fine and losing 26-28 scholarships.
Losing visits but keeping bowl eligibility.

The loss of scholarships is the killer here, not the money. Losing 26-28 scholarships puts you below FCS scholarship limits, which, I believe, are a max of 65.They would pay 8 mil to beat bama every 3 years so I’m guessing they don’t really give a sh**
Good post. I did not real the article, just the headline. That should definitely hurt them.The loss of scholarships is the killer here, not the money. Losing 26-28 scholarships puts you below FCS scholarship limits, which, I believe, are a max of 65.
Great questionQuestion- does losing scholarships mean a loss of total team numbers? Or theoretically could they just ensure the NIL dollars are there to make up for the schollys?
One good thing about being nailed for NCAA violations is it usually provides the school an opportunity to fire the head coach for just cause and escape having to pay millions to buy out the remainder of the coach's contract.
I don't follow Tennessee and I didn't read the article, so I don't know how warm their coach's seat is or whether the violations occured under his watch.
