"NCAA Exposes Tennessee's 200+ Violations and Sports-Betting Scandal under Coach Pruitt"

The NCAA revealed that the Tennessee football program committed over 200 violations, including 18 Level I violations, under former head coach Jeremy Pruitt, but the team avoided a postseason ban. The violations involved recruiting infractions and direct payments to athletes and their families. Tennessee will pay an $8 million fine, be placed on probation for five years, have reduced scholarships and official visits, and vacate 11 wins. The NCAA also disclosed 175 sports-betting violations since 2018, with 17 active investigations. Northwestern fired its baseball coach, Jim Foster, due to bullying and abusive behavior.

"Uncovering Misconduct and Lack of Accountability: Former Northwestern Players Speak Out"

Former Northwestern baseball players and staffers have come forward with allegations of misconduct and a lack of accountability under head coach Jim Foster. The players described a toxic environment that affected their mental health, leading to approximately 16 players entering the transfer portal. Foster was reportedly disengaged, made no effort to know his players, and had volatile relationships with assistant coaches. The team lacked accountability, with no punishments for failing to meet standards. Practices were unpredictable and focused on ineffective drills. The Wildcats had a dismal season, going 10-40, and now face a mass exodus of players. The program will need a complete culture makeover to rebuild, but former players and staff agree that change can only happen if Foster is removed.
