A recent Alabama court ruling has temporarily halted NCAA enforcement actions against former Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt, raising concerns that the NCAA's disciplinary system, especially its 'show cause' penalties, may be fundamentally challenged due to procedural unfairness and legal vulnerabilities, potentially threatening the NCAA's authority in enforcing rules.
Jeremy Pruitt, former head coach at Tennessee and defensive coordinator at Alabama, has been hired as the new PE teacher at Plainview High School in Alabama. He will also assist with the boys basketball team. This is a homecoming for Pruitt, as he attended Plainview High School and his father is the head football coach there.
Jeremy Pruitt, the former Tennessee football coach who was fired due to an NCAA infractions case, has been hired as a physical education teacher and junior high boys basketball coach at Plainview High School in Rainsville, Alabama, his high school alma mater. His wife, Casey Pruitt, has also been hired as an English teacher at the same school. The couple's contracts are set to begin on August 1 pending background checks and appropriate certification. Pruitt was given a six-year show-cause penalty by the NCAA, but this does not affect his ability to coach at the high school level.
Former Tennessee football coach Jeremy Pruitt has been hired as a physical education teacher at Plainview High School in Alabama, where his father currently coaches the football program. Pruitt was fired by Tennessee in early 2021 due to NCAA violations, and the NCAA Committee on Infractions recently determined that the program committed over 200 violations. Despite the violations, Pruitt will not face a show-cause penalty and is set to begin his role at the high school on August 1. This will be Pruitt's third time working for Plainview High School.
The NCAA Committee on Infractions has fined the University of Tennessee $8 million and placed the football program on probation for five years, while former coach Jeremy Pruitt received a six-year show cause order. The program was found responsible for over 200 individual violations, including 18 Level I violations. The penalties include scholarship reductions, vacated wins, and an independent compliance review each year. The fines are larger than usual to avoid a bowl ban that would affect innocent players and staff. Pruitt provided direct payments to two players, and the program engaged in a scheme to bypass unofficial visit rules. Tennessee will lose scholarships, official visits, and recruiting opportunities. Pruitt's show cause order will suspend him for his first season if he is hired elsewhere.

While the Vols avoided a bowl ban, Pruitt received a six-year show-cause order, and several other staff members were also penalized. The NCAA praised Tennessee's cooperation during the investigation.
