I vote we keep him regardless of what the NCAA does.

I agree. The violation has already happened. The punishment is a decision out of Pearl's control. He should have already been fired, if they were going to do that. Since they didn't fire him before, why should they now?

I think this will be in our rear-view mirror by next fall.

Because if they fire him now, our season will be even more of a mess than it already is. Spring is when the decision has to be made.

Here's a dream scenario....the 'AA hits him with a year suspension that is reduced to time served (half the SEC season) on appeal (after all, Slive used to chair the appeal's committee...maybe his call was the "reasonable" appeal call).

Pearl's termination would remove the need for substantial penalties against the program.

There likely won't be a finding of lack of institutional control. UT can make a compelling case that the only real problem is a rogue baketball staff.

Pearl is as good as gone IMO..who do you think would be logical as a replacement? Barring serious sanctions.

Like I said, if any of you do not think Pearl isn't going to be at UT then you need to keep up. Hamilton and others have known that this was possible. Also, none of you are mentioning that Gottlieb's sources told him that Slive, a guy who was on the NCAA appeals process, levied this in hopes to bring closure to this with the NCAA. Slive is a smart guy, and he knows what to do to help his consistent money maker in SEC basketball.

We are his consistent money maker in basketball? Seriously? Ever heard of the school called "Kentucky"? And I bet Florida has made more basketball cash than UT this decade.

I don't think Pearl is gone. However, I wouldn't be surprised, and if any postseason ban comes out, he should be gone.

Like I said, since Bruce has been here we have been the only "consistent" one. Florida and Kentucky have had rough stretches, but UT has always stayed in the headlines since Pearl is here. And there won't be a postseason ban. If there is, I will accept a ban.

I'm tired of hearing about this. All pub is NOT good pub and I bet recruits are taking notice. Good thing Ware and Jones are already inked.

We shall see...if the NCAA hands down a stiff penalty ( which if you read the blog by Hat, he makes a good point st to why it may still happen ) he could and should be gone.

I love Pearl, he is the best coach in UT history, at the same time, he isn't bigger than the University.

Indeed. Everyone knows that Calipari is a cheater but at least he puts players in the NBA, which is all the top recruits care about anyway.

Bruce has no such record.

Referring to Hat about Pearl is like going to a Southerner and asking him who won the Civil War.

Because Pearl has done a terrible job of recruiting?
