Apparently Pruitt learned from the best and took it to another level from high school to cheating at a power 5 school. This deposition was posted today in the suit filed by the former head coach at Valdosta who is suing the Valdosta BOE.
It is long but shows the depth Propst will sink to win football games.

It takes a lot of gall to ask for that much funny money to keep in his desk.
Wow - just wow.
cannot download on my work computer. anyone care to paraphrase?
Dirtypants this is a few of the things that came out during the deposition. The former Valdosta coach is suing the Valdosta BOE for wrongful firing.
1. The school board has still not given a reason for letting Rodemaker go, and multiple members are reported to have said they wanted a Black coach.
2. Rush ended up with a $700 check from Winn-Dixie made out to him and mailed to his house in Moultrie that was supposed to have gone to the TD club for advertising.
3. Rush lobbied the TD club for $3300 a month for the two transfer quarterbacks to, in theory, assist with rent, but he only wanted 4 months of it, which suggests he only expected them to be there for the season, even though one was a junior.
4. Rush allegedly badmouthed VHS to all the other presumed candidates and angled his way into the job to begin with (which probably isn't all that abnormal btw).
5. Some unnamed booster from Moultrie is supposedly paying Rush's mortgage.
6. Perhaps most egregiously, Rush left a 37-cent tip on a $60+ bar tab.
Haha...I sat down with Savage in 2007 bc I was going to be a character witness for a friend of mine in a divorce. Nice guy. Haha...
Propst is a slimeball.
When asked about which college coaches were involved, I like how the witness said, "I won't answer that question - Lock me up."
Snitches get stitches...
Valdosta TD club has always had deep deep pockets. Why do you think Bazemore (RIP) and Hyder (RIP) 2 of the all time best coaches ever in HS Football never left, because it cost them absolutely nothing to live in Valdosta.
Everything was paid for from groceries, automobiles, house, insurance etc. No need to leave a goldmine when you get paid a good salary and have no expenses. Don't know if it is still that way but seems so, the BOE never really had that much power back in the day in the late 60's when I was at Lowndes, it was all centered around the TD Club and what they said was law.
I'm not defending Propst and I don't have a dog in the fight, but just to clarify:
Very true. But just the Winn-Dixie thing if proven true should be enough with his past history that they would have to fire him.
whats unbelievable is they knew what he was when they hired him. Everybody else knew. Win at all costs mentality may jump up and bite them on the butt this time.
I'm not sure if Rodemaker is aware, but Propst is white.
Propst, known scumbag, is caught being a scumbag. Crazy.
Rush Propst has lost control of the Valdosta program....
Mark Richt has lost control of Rush Propst.
I wonder if anybody recorded Rush. I can hear him now, “ Find me 11,780 dollars”.... funny money is not so funny now.
does this hurt him and the first family or him and the second family?
