Jeremy Pruitt, former head football coach, has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, alleging a conspiracy with Tennessee to scapegoat him for rules violations that preceded his tenure.
Pruitt claims the investigation leading to his dismissal was biased to avoid paying his owed salary and contends he was unjustly punished for providing benefits to players.
In his lawsuit, Pruitt seeks $100 million in lost wages, correlating his actions to permissible changes ruled by the United States Supreme Court.
His tenure at Tennessee saw a record of 16-19, though 11 victories were vacated due to the program's allegations.
