Surely even a casual, habitual liar such as yourself can understand that the stakes ramp way up when you lie to the governing body of your profession.

Absolutely. He made a terribly stupid mistake. I just don't judge so harshly and I know of much worse. That's all. Everything on here has to be so dramatic.

I'm not going to engage in a back and forth with you about this. I'll just say the 95% probability he's going to be given at least a 1 year show-cause makes the cost of keeping him more than the benefit of keeping him. And, I think rationally, whether you like Pearl or not, he can't survive that.

Not to specifically pick on anyone, but it just seems that we are throwing out a lot of percentages and statistics attached to opinion. Statistics and percentages are facts, not opinions.

To say that anyone knows what the NCAA will do and throw a percentage on it is a little bit much. The NCAA has proven to be a body with its own agenda and has little concern over their own precedence. Each situation seems to be handled differently than the time before.

There's more homeristic sites that you would be better served to read, then.

This is laughable. HE COMMITTED ANOTHER VIOLATION FOUR DAYS AFTER HE STOOD UP AND CRIED AND SWORE HE'D NEVER DO IT AGAIN. How the hell can you people just swallow this shat?

Currently, people are making a huge deal of the "bump" violation because of the timing of it (obviously terrible) and because of the major violation classification by the NCAA of what is usually considered a minor violation.

There are a few reasons why the NCAA could have decided to class Pearl's "bump" violation as major. Not all of them have to do with the nature of the violation itself.

Should it be a huge deal? Maybe. There are definitely circumstances that would make it a huge deal for me, but I haven't seen any evidence of those circumstances yet, beyond some guessing at the NCAA's intentions. It's still entirely possible that the violation was just unlucky and (probably) stupid rather than flagrant and (definitely) stupid. I don't see how the university would abide CBP flagrantly breaking the rules so soon after the PC, so perhaps there's more (or less) there than meets the eye.

You'll have a different outlook when you're older.

Lying to the state bar association about breaking rules governing your profession, claiming you'll never do it again publicly, then breaking another rule of your profession will suddenly become something you're okay with.

No, if he becomes an atty, he'll be lying to make a living. Somewhat ironic.

Major violations and ethics charges against the coach of a major sport are worth a little drama.

The classification of that violation as major seems like a pretty good indication that the NCAA is still pretty likely to bury Pearl with a show cause. The only way that's a major is if the NCAA thinks something about it is particularly damning -- probably just the timing, I'd guess.

I get it. Most on here have lied about something in the last 24 hrs, yet are all over somebody about a lie. That's what I don't get. Regarding the "bump rule", I need to investigate more. Technically, I don't know if that kid was classified as a jr or sr and exactly when BP saw him. I'm sure someone will be glad to let me know.

This "everyone else lies and does so to thee bosses" argument is senseless. Everyone hasnot lied to their bosses and everyone that does would expect to be fired if caught. Find another flimsy defense.

BPV, it's not an argument. Just a statement about lying being commonplace. I've never defended his lying. It was stupid.

Why do you continue proffering it if it's just a statement?

The truth is that you don't know the details of this "new violation" but assume you know wtf you are talking about, then call me ignorant. MH knew about this weeks ago. Compliance cleared it. It will be appealed. Did you know this?
Click to expand...

Yes, I'm capable of reading the article on GVX just like yourself. And, it seems to me to just illustrate how pathetic our compliance office must be. When you deem something's not even a violation and the NCAA finds that it's a major one, chances are you don't know what the Hell you're doing. But thanks for the inside info. Now try to study up on what Pearl admitted to doing 5 months ago.

Tell me how me saying that BP made a stupid mistake by lying and that this thing is 100% his fault is defending his lying. I haven't placed blame on anyone else.

You've regularly rationalized his actions by making them out to be commonplace.

Yea, that's not trying to justify his lying.

Not justifying or defending. Just trying to put out different things for people to think about. Ashame that a decent conversation of differing minds can't take place. It's taken a turn for the worse tonight. I guess everybody's intense right now and it's a tough topic.

It just doesn't apply. If you lie to your employer, conspire to get others to lie, crying about it doesn't save your ass from being fired. That's life. And that's what should happen to Pearl.
