Wouldn't be surprised if Pearl just left on his own

who penalizes the NCAA, when they have haunted a program for three years, starting with Kiffin. Now they have haunted Pearl all year. Who governs the Ncaa. I just want to know.

Doesn't matter. They are the law whether you and I like it or not. If you want to play ball, you play by their rules. The decision makers at UT from the school president (or lack thereof), to the AD, to the coaches, have brought this fight to our door step. As much as I hate the general lunacy that is the NCAA, this is NOT their fault.

The amount of the parting gift will depend on what skeleton's BP may know, and how much it's worth to UT.

I bet he gets a small settlement even though he doesn't deserve on and we owe him nothing.

There is 0% chance he leaves on his own IMO. If he loses this job he knows he's not getting another one for for a few years.

The university should go back and pay him his original salary for this year. It is not fair to take his money since he is going to be penalized by the NCAA anyway.

Well, they've already shafted him, why not ream him some more? Pay him his salary and take it out of Hamilton's pocket while they fire Hamilton too. Talk about reflecting on the university. Pathetic!

:eek:lol: It's usually important to actually have a contract in place when trying to negotiate a buyout.

There is a reason Pearl never signed the new contract put in front of him. He would not waive his rights under his original contract. Just because the school says they tore up his contract does not mean a court would agree at this point.

Any breach of contract occurs not on a notice of allegation but on a final determination from the NCAA of major violations. That will not occur until late summer at the earliest and if appealed by Pearl and his attorneys can be stalled till basketball season is starting or later.

So Pearl has leverage. He can force the issue and delay the hiring of a new coach or they can negotiate a buyout.

Many courts have already ruled in the coaches favor on just this issue. The coaches get paid in full if fired before the final determination. Look at how much OSU paid it's bball coach when they fired him too early.

I would agree that Pearl may have more leverage than some people on here believe. A resignation and having him walk away from coaching for two years and hold UT harmless would have value IMHO.

You seemed to have forgotten something that's kind of important. Pearl has already admitted to the actions that voided the contract. He absolutely has no case.

He's already admitted guilt. He's pleaded guilty. He's just waiting on the punishment.

Bullcrap!!!! He has brought this on himself. If he stays I guess I'm O.K. if he goes I don't care. We never had a basketball program before he came and now he has run it in to the ground. It will take a huge turn around for me to support Pearl's team again. Who knows what will happen? Me!!:):loco::rock:

I'll just go back to only watching college basketball during March Madness. This isn't the same as football for me. I'll be with the football team no matter what, but that's not the case with basketball. I just can't get into a team whose goal is to win half the games every year and make the NIT

Despite how bad it might hurt for some of you hardcore b-ball fans, this is the reality for most Vol fans. I hate to break the news but, Tennessee is a football school. :hi:

Bruce taking the high road and resigning (w/ some sort of financial pkg/settlement) is probably best...allowing both parties to move on. Clean as clean can be at this point.

actually this might be what happens, since he doesnt have a contract. UT would simply not offer him another one.

Maybe, but watching the football team the last few years hasnt been exciting. Pearl brought some life into what used to be a boring offseason.

My uncle said the same thing awhile ago. he's either really scared he can't get another job or really loves Tennessee. I'd probably pack up and leave too.

He is unhireable at this point unless he wants to go back to Milwaukee and start riding buses again. He screwed himself.

Lawvol13, Article XV of Pearl's contract, section F.1., details how Pearl can be terminated for adequate cause. Section (ii) states: "a finding by the NCAA Committee on Infractions or, if appealed, the NCAA Infractions Appeals Committee that Coach Pearl has knowingly engaged in or condoned significant or repetitive violation(s) of NCAA regulations, provided that the University gives notice of termination within (60) days of such a finding."

So Pearl does have leverage potentially well into next season with the hearing, the appeal and the 60 day termination notice.

His statements admitting his lies are NOT a finding under the terms of his contract. They can fire him before the finding but then the owe him. Sounds like lots of leverage to me and probably the school too, thus the talk of buyout. Pearl never signed the new contract he was offered because it removed this rather strong language of protection he was operating under.
