Bruce Pearl is a hero here in Knoxville but I am not impressed since he has cheated at every stop on his way to being a coach of a major university. Lying to the NCAA shows he will try to get away with cheating. It tickled me that they had photos of kids being recruited in his house and then he tells the NCAA they were never there. Pearl is also the first to report others cheating when he is doing it himself.

I sign every autograph I can for kids because I remember myself at that age. I think it’s ridiculous that some guys won’t sign for a kid.

Lived it here in Champaign, Nite. Pearl is, was, and forever shall be a DOUCHEBAG. And yes, my 500 word apology to douchebags everywhere is already in the works.

The sad thing is that Vols fans like Pearl even though he is a cheater as long as the Vols win. They always refer to having a losing team before Pearl came to UT. What is more important to win games or to have a cheater for a coach? I would rather lose with a coach that has good character than a scumbag like Pearl who wins but has a checkered past.

If he was such a great coach how come he lost to unranked Oakland a week after beating No.3 Pittsburgh?

The daughter of a friend of mine was a full scholarship athlete at Rocky top.  They care nothing about the education of the student athlete.  They care nothing about how the coaches comport themselves.  The only thing these people care about is winning.  They would not care if the coaches shot up every athlete with ungodly amounts of steroids paid them millions of dollars as long as the teams won.

Pearl is a jack hat.  I cannot understand how the NCAA has not imposed sanctions on him and the university.  The next kid who gets suspended by the NCAA should make his first phone call to an attorney to file a suit against the NCAA.

Does any school really care about scholarship awarded student-athletes?

Seriously?

Here’s an interesting read on the NCAA’s hypocrisy.  http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/andy_staples/12/15/sidney-newton-ncaa/index.html?xid=cnnbin&hpt=Sbin

At some point a lawyer will go after them and it won’t be pretty.

I think the mafia runs the NCAA.

They are untouchable.
