This is almost too good to be true.
Per Dan Patrick, Tennessee coaches were using bags from McDonald’s to fill with cash and hand off to recruits during visits in hopes that the player would sign with the Volunteers.
It is just a part of the investigation that ended with the firing of Jeremy Pruitt and more than a handful of assistants on Monday.
As usual, Twitter was all over the McDonald’s news with some major jokes.

What did Mark Stoops think about what happened at Tennessee? "I gotta be careful in my response here… Does it surprise me? Not one bit."

Tennessee Football is really a lot like McDonald’s.
– They’re low quality
– Makes you feel bad about yourself shortly after subjecting yourself to it
– & a lot like the Ice Cream machine, they’re broken
