When are you idiots going to realize the UT Administration left Pearl in the dark before he went into the NCAA meeting. Te problem with our athletics dept starts with Cheek and DiPitrieo. Until a change is made with these 2 clowns, we will continue to suck.

Agree completely. Cheek and DiPitrieo have to go before any UT athletic team will ever return to relavence.

Well explain how it works

I'll let wiki explain it for you:

In the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), a show-cause penalty is an order saying that for a set period of time, any NCAA penalties imposed on a coach involved in major rules violations at a university's athletic program will remain in force if he is hired by any other NCAA member institution. Both the school and coach are required to send letters to the NCAA agreeing to abide by any restrictions imposed, and report back to the NCAA every 6 months until the end of employment or the show-cause, whichever comes first. If the school wishes to avoid the NCAA restrictions imposed on that individual, it must appear before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and "show cause" as to why it should not be penalized for hiring him.

Show-cause penalty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Then check who is on that list with Pearl. Believe me, it's not a list you want to be on.

If UT had kept Pearl, the NCAA would've basically shut UT's program down. People are just unbelievably ignorant and stupid to what would've happened.

The way I understand the show cause.....is that whatever penalties the NCAA feels should come to the coach will happen to whoever decides to hire/ keep the coach. The school can argue to reduce the penalties. There were rumors at the time that the penalties againstu Pearl would have been a one yr suspension.....the only problem I had with the way Tennessee handled it was claiming to keep pearl.....made him jump through hoops to stay our coach and then fired him anyways.

UT didn't handle the Pearl situation the best. Of course, what would you expect with Cheek and Hammy? They are/were two buffoons that are/were clueless. As soon as UT rids itself of the Cheek stain the better. The Hammy stain still lives on. Hart can't get rid of that in less than 2 years.

The NCAA would've crippled UT. They're a totalitarian regime that rules as they see fit. UT did not want any more bad press and it was much easier to get rid of Pearl and hope the NCAA would have mercy on them.

I wish Pearl wouldn't have screwed up. He had a good thing going. A number of people didn't like him, but I didn't really care what he did in his personal life as long as he wasn't breaking the law. Was he a charlatan? Yes, but who the hell isn't in that slimeball of a profession? I could really care less about his personal life, yet some people felt that was important. Well Buzz took his players to church. Good for him. That didn't do jack sh*t for his W-L record.

In the words of Herm Edwards, "you play to win the game". Period. If Martin doesn't win enough, he'll be gone.

I was kind of hoping at the time that we would be the ones brave enough to stand up to the NCAA.

It would be a lost cause. When you admit that you lied, and Pearl admitted it, UT would've had very little of a case to show why they should keep him. It's not that hard.
