He is a great coach but what in the world was he thinking?? Did he think that no one would find out?? As good of a coach as he is I am surprised that the university is standing by him. I also think that it was crazy that the SEC suspended him, that is the job of the NCAA.
Mike Slive and the SEC gave Pearl the suspension in hope that the NCAA would deem it as suitable penalty.After hearing what the NCAA had to say today about UT's lack of institutional control,I think the Vols are about to get the inconsistent hammer.
How Calhoun only got slapped on the panties is a joke,I have no respect for the NCAA Infractions Committee and Compliance Office.
