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.
