From The Tennessean:

How the NCAA says Tennessee Vols football violated rules using McDonald's food

McDonald's food was popular with the former Tennessee football coaching staff.

Twice in the NCAA notice of allegations, McDonald's is mentioned.

The first instance occurred March 30 to April 1, 2019. The second instance occurred on July 26, 2019.

The first instance involved assistant coach Brian Niedermeyer and director of recruiting Bethany Gunn. The second instance only involved Gunn.

Here is what the NCAA notice of allegations said occurred March 30 to April 1, 2019:

During an unofficial visit to the institution, Gunn and/or Niedermeyer arranged and/or provided approximately $225 in impermissible meals from McDonald's for [redacted name] and University of Tennessee, Knoxville (Tennessee)-branded clothing, including two beanie hats and two hooded sweatshirts.

Here is what the NCAA notice of allegations said occurred July 26, 2019:

Gunn and a student recruiting assistant provided to [redacted name] approximately $35 in meals from McDonald's and loaned him a Sony PlayStation video console.

The University of Tennessee received a 51-page notice of allegations from the NCAA on Friday. The NCAA lists 18 football recruiting violations under former Tennessee football head coach Jeremy Pruitt.

On Jan. 18, 2021, Pruitt was fired for cause after an internal investigation by Tennessee.

Two years removed from these events we now have legal pay for play via NIL..It is ironic UT gets caught over violations that would not even draw a second glance today.

This is the same bunch of yahoo's that think men should be able to compete with women in sports. Gotta consider the source.
