From my source within the athletic department:
"Bruce Pearl will not return as the coach of the UT Men's Basketball team next season."
"The NCAA WILL suspend Bruce Pearl for one year and UT will lose scholarships in addition to the self-imposed and SEC sanctions."
Credible and reliable. Book it.
1.Why would Tennessee be working out a contract with CBP, just to get rid of him?
2. Want cheese with that "whine." Seems like this is a :cray: reaction to Pearl asking for a larger buyout in his contract....
3. Also, why would Tennessee already know what punishments they will receive if the NCAA has not sent a letter of allegations? Heard it will not be til August.....
Sad if he's gone, but Tennessee can always hire a roommate of an NBA legend!!! Since it worked out so well the last time :hi:
I am very ignorant on most of this topic. I understand CBP hosted a cookout, with recruits, made unathorized and excessive text messages, and eventually lied to the NCAA. I am by no means trying to justify or defend these actions.
My confusion is wondering to which "benchmark" is this being compared? It seems that if what the OP says is true, and you combine the punishments already in place, this seems like a snowball effect that could be getting a bit too large? (not for CBP but for the University)
If I'm wrong, flame away! I just posted here wanting to hear opinions from people that had more knowledge than I do on the situation.
I like CBP and appreciate what he's done for the program, but I have no problem with removing him and the black eye this university is wearing at the moment.
Thanks for the help.
The NCAA is the biggest joke on the planet. This year they have proven themselves as a protector of media income rather than an advocate for the student athlete.The ncaa is lied to and made a mockery of 24/7--365. So if you are buying players and ncaa is aware of it (of course they are) it is OK-----Just dont have an illegal cookout, over text, and LIE about it? Give me a friggin break. NCAA= joke.

you understand the hold up in the contract discussions?
It was the hot topic on the sports animal this morning @ 6; Bruce wants larger buyout, but tennessee doesnt want to give it since they have stood behind him through this mess. I don't think Pearl has any bargaining power in this at all so I see why the Athetic Department is frustrated with him, but they do want him to be the coach at Tennessee for a long time to come.
