Dan Patrick: Tennessee gave cash to recruits in McDonald’s bags

According to Patrick’s source, Tennessee football got ‘sloppy’ and its staff gave cash to recruits in McDonald’s bags. Details here.

Tennessee is currently under investigation by the NCAA for recruiting violations under the watch of recently fired head coach Jeremy Pruitt.

In addition to the former Georgia defensive coordinators’ termination, the university fired nine other football employees who were hired by Pruitt.

Among the numerous issues revolving around the Volunteers program, which include level I and level II violations that garner the most severe repercussions, is this nugget of information passed along on The Dan Patrick Show.

According to Patrick’s source close to the situation, Tennessee football got ‘sloppy’ and its staff gave cash to recruits in McDonald’s bags and acted like they were not trying to hide anything.

Patrick’s source also said that Georgia football got ‘sloppy’ as well, although there are currently no reports that back that statement and the University of Georgia told the Athens Banner-Herald recently that there is no ongoing investigation into the UGA program.

As expected, Pruitt is defending his moves at UT legally and even released a statement with his lawyer on Monday condemning his firing.

By firing with cause, Tennessee avoided a $12.8 million dollar buyout.

This story is becoming more and more comical by the day. My only question is why not move up the proverbial fast-food chain to a premium burger spot like Sonic or Five Guys?

Nonetheless, Tennessee will look to replace half of its football staff in the coming months.

Twitter abuzz with Tennessee recruiting violation rumors

College football Twitter abuzz with Tennessee recruiting violation rumors after Volunteers fire Jeremy Pruitt & Phil Fulmer retires

College football Twitter is having a field day after the Tennessee Volunteers fired head coach Jeremy Pruitt for cause. Additionally, Tennessee athletic director Phillip Fulmer is likely going to step down and retire.

If some of the recruiting violation rumors are false, then it still doesn’t change the fact that Tennessee’s program has seen a level of decline on par with Florida State in recent seasons. The Volunteers did finish 8-5 in 2019 after a rocky start, but the program took a major step back in 2020 with a 3-7 season.

According to the Dan Patrick Show, Tennessee handed recruits money in McDonald’s bags during campus visits. This rumor gave Twitter some easy material to work with and of course college football fans came up with some funny reactions:

Tennessee wide receiver Jalin Hyatt denied the rumor via Twitter.

I’m Lovin’ It! Twitter jokes about Tennessee using McDonald’s bags to pay recruits

Tennessee allegedly used McDonald’s bags to fill with cash to hand to recruits in violations that ended the Jeremy Pruitt era in Knoxville.

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.

Dan Patrick: Tennessee ‘put the cash in McDonald’s bags and handed it to the recruits’

Tennessee used the Golden Arches to help pay off recruits reports Dan Patrick.

Tennessee took McDonald’s old slogan of “We Do It All For You” literal for potential recruits, it seems.

On Tuesday during his talk show, Dan Patrick talked about how Tennessee coaches handed McDonald’s bags full of cash during visits to recruits.

“You literally had bag men,” Patrick said. “They put the cash in McDonald’s bags and handed it to the recruits. My source said they were so in your face with this—they weren’t even trying to hide it. And that’s where my source said: ‘Tennessee got sloppy. Georgia has gotten sloppy.’ But there’s been no word on the NCAA looking at Georgia. But Tennessee, they got sloppy, and they were handing out cash in McDonald’s bags.”

There’s so much in this quote that it is mind-blowing that the Volunteers could be so dumb. Yet, we are here to entertain so let’s have a fun poll and vote on which McDonald’s slogan of the past fits this scenario the best. Alright? Alright!
