Tennessee Coach Josh Heupel Celebrates as Volunteers Avoid Bowl Ban and NCAA Punishment
TL;DR
Tennessee football coach Josh Heupel expresses relief as the NCAA Committee on Infractions releases the program's punishment, which does not include a bowl ban. Heupel is "really excited" for the outcome, as the current players are protected and the future players as well. The punishment includes an $8 million fine, scholarship losses, recruiting limitations, and vacating some wins from the time of the violations. Heupel views the lack of a bowl ban as a huge victory for the program, allowing them to move forward without ambiguity. The program has already self-imposed penalties and will continue to do so in the future.
