I love the attempts to deflect here. I wish the jackasses would do what they said they were going to do and abandon the program because their hero was fired

You mean the same posters who admitted to being wrong? Funny how the morons still can't admit they were wrong about the guy. Yeah, those guys you are talking about were right when they said he would bring trouble and that there was absolutely no way Tennessee should keep him.

Not a person on here said that BP would bring recruiting violations and sanctions to UT. Some people didn't like him and his secret tapings of a recruit @ 20 yrs ago. Of course, most people with sense said that UT couldn't afford to keep him when it became obvious that a show cause was coming.

I love it when people make stuff up and get called out. That's what you get for patting your back, or whomever's back, instead of just moving on.

Very surprised by a multi-year show cause. Don't think it was warranted at all. The 'AA is making a very extreme example of CBP, coaches all across the country should beware.

Even if what you said is true, and it isn't, there were still those of us who said he needed to be gone and we still got push back from the Pearl is God folks. Those people were proven wrong. Deal with it.

I really hate it for Bruce. Seemed to be a heck of a coach and good man but you never know what is really going on behind the scene. Have fun in the D-League

The message being sent is simple. If you screw up, you man up and take responsibility instead of trying to cover it up.

The NCAA can't compel truthful testimony with a subpoena, so they have to rely on fear. You don't inspire fear without using the hammer.

It's been obvious for a year that Pearl was going to get buried. He sat across the table from NCAA investigators and blatantly lied in their faces; as far as the NCAA is concerned, that's the worst thing you can do because it subverts their entire enforcement process.

It's a crummy system, but from a game-theory standpoint, the NCAA doesn't really have a choice. Lying to their investigators has to equal professional suicide.

It's not the first time Mark Emmert has been called an anti-Semitic son of a be-atch.

You changed the subject, and what you said above is correct. Your first post was misinformed and made up, which is why you changed the subject.
I deal with things fine, thank you. I've also been around long enough that I don't need "i told you so's" to make myself feel better, much less post them on a message board.

I don't know why anyone is surprised; he lied to the NCAA. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that's a very bad move.

The bump violation that he failed to report (a few weeks after his teary-eyed press conference, no less) is what gets me. What a moron.

I raised 5 kids to adulthood. They are all good citizens and fairly honest. Whenever they lied to me about silly, unimportant things I laughed at them, I made them feel embarassed about it and I tried to make them realize that a sincere apology was the best resolution of the situation. When they lied about serious, important things I punished them by removing priviliges to the point to try to get them to feel accountability and remorse.

Bruce Pearl lied about a silly, unimportant thing. The NCAA punished based on a serious, important lie. That's my view.

Correct, except for the part about other coaches. All the cheating that goes on (such as at Kentucky) and this gets singled out for a three-year penalty?

It's arbitrary and capricious.

You don't lie to the NCAA. You just don't ****ing do it.

It's the rule in college athletics. Vercy said it best. It's something the NCAA can't stand.

Actually, you don't lie to the 'aa and get caught. 100's of coaches in basketball and football tell little lies to the 'aa when they deny knowledge of problems or turn their heads, as in "i don't want to know or hear anything about that". It's not defending BP to point out the truth of the matter.

Of course they do, and the NCAA knows it, but they can rarely do much about it because it's very difficult without subpoena power to get any evidence Which is why A) the NCAA comes down like Mike Tyson on anybody whom they do catch in a documented lie, and B) why it was so incredibly stupid of Pearl to lie about something when they were holding an actual piece of evidence in his face.

Again from a game-theory perspective, the risk of getting caught lying to the NCAA is usually so low that they really have no choice but to balance it out by going nuclear on those whom they do catch in a documented lie.

The fact is there is no way to defend Pearl's lies. The old every body does it simply doesn't apply here. He has proven beyond any doubt that he is unethical and his assistants, especially Tony Jones, continue to prove their level of ethics.
