Former Tennessee football coach Jeremy Pruitt, his wife and multiple members of his staff supplied over two dozen recruits with illicit amenities and gifts costing approximately $60,000, according to a notice of allegations from the NCAA, a copy of which was obtained by the Knoxville News-Sentinel.
