Last night, ESPN listed the punishments based on precedent, as did the GVX article. Based on NCAA precedent, the worst thing to come is more game suspensions for Pearl (non-SEC) and scholarships to be taken away. Unless there is something we don't know about that is above "major violation," I think Pearl will be relatively OK with what is to come in June.

Calhoun received a shorter suspension than the SEC gave Pearl, and the off-campus recruiting sanctions that the NCAA gave UConn were lighter than what UT gave itself.

I hope Pearl doesn't get the dreaded show-cause penalty. If so, we come out worse than UConn and their 8 major violations.

Which would make no sense. But hey, it's the NCAA, and they're not exactly about making sense.

Perhaps the NCAA's philosophy was to sanction the fired employee with the show-cause order and sanction the retained employee by sanctioning his program.

If you only compare Pearl to the former UConn Dir. of BBall Ops, then it seems he will get the show-cause order. But, the NCAA may conclude that UT decided to shoulder the sanctions itself by keeping Pearl and heavily punishing its own program and thus not issue a show-cause order.

I do not know if the NCAA has ever given a show-cause order to a coach still employed. The NCAA does not have the jurisdiction to order a school to fire a coach. Perhaps the NCAA avoids legal battles by only issuing show-cause orders to dismissed employees.

The NCAA is hard to get a read on, but I'm trying.
