DISCLAIMER: just passing along info, not making it up

Friend of mine's husband hangs out with Stephen Pearl on a reg basis and he has said that if asked, BP would def come back to UT.

Again, not trying to get kudos just passing it along

Seems that Cheek is the main road block (as previously stated multiple times)

Signed. Missouri game was last straw.

Texted my brother in second half we can foul out some of their bigs and have a great shot at getting the win. Unbelievable we didn't force them to guard us in the paint. Disgusting.

The same idiots who were trying to get the rest of us on board with the Kiffin train are now leading the Bring Bruce Back parade. We need the "forget integrity, let's just win" crowd to sit out a few seasons.

Better to remain silent and be thought a---------------.
I have never posted anything about Kiffen.

To quote the Fonz,"Sit on it Potsy". Bruce Pearl will save our program, a muppet will not.

Yes, bring this guy back, exactly what UT needs. Incredible that this is even a topic.

NCAA investigation[edit]In the summer of 2008, Pearl invited high school junior Aaron Craft and members of his family to a cookout at his Knoxville home while Craft was on an unofficial visit to Tennessee. At the cookout, Pearl said that Craft wasn't allowed to be there under NCAA rules, but encouraged all those in attendance not to tell anyone about it. When the NCAA began an investigation of the affair, Pearl not only lied about the cookout, but also told Craft's father to lie as well.[9]

On September 10, 2010, Pearl acknowledged the violations in the Craft affair, and also admitted lying about it to the NCAA. As a result, Tennessee imposed sanctions on Pearl and his entire staff including $1.5 million in salary reduction over the coming five years and a delayed retention bonus. His off-campus recruiting was also restricted completely from September 4, 2010 to September 23, 2011.[10] On November 20, 2010, the SEC ordered Pearl to sit out Tennessee's first eight SEC games.[11]

After finding out about additional NCAA violations, as well as a violation of the school's substance abuse policy by a player, Tennessee fired Pearl on March 21, 2011--three days after the Vols' blowout loss to Michigan.[12][13][14] On August 23, 2011, Pearl was given a three-year show-cause penalty for lying to the NCAA, effective until August 23, 2014. This means that the sanctions imposed on Pearl will remain in force if he is hired by an NCAA member school within that period. Specifically, he is prohibited from engaging in any "recruiting activities", which means he cannot contact recruits, although he may evaluate talent during that period. If a school does choose to hire him and chooses to challenge the NCAA restrictions, it must appear before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and "show cause" for why the sanctions imposed on Pearl should not follow him to that school.[9] In imposing the penalty, the NCAA said that Pearl's lies turned what would have been a minor case into a major one.[15] Since most schools will not even consider hiring a coach with a show-cause order in effect, it will likely have the effect of blackballing Pearl from the collegiate ranks until the 2014-15 season as the earliest. His assistant coaches were also given one-year show-cause orders, in effect until August 23, 2012.

I think we can all agree its Aaron Craft's fault! Had he stuck with his commitment nothing would have been said!
