and lets not forget. Pearl told the NCAA he had lied shortly after doing so. I'm not saying lying is right, I just feel turning yourself in , warrents some consideration. Compared to what some coaches have done. Heck, it wasnt long ago, coaches were remodeling their houses so they could entertain recruits. All I know is I havent been as excited about basketball ( other than the lady vols ) since the Ernie and Bernie show. yep that shows my age. I dont know how this will end, but I feel Mike Hamilton should be ashamed of the distraction he caused prior to the start of the NCAA tournament. I feel he should not be the one deciding Pearls fate, He should be GONE and let his replacement review the case and decide. All I know is the young men on this team did not deserve the distraction and pressure they were put under. this does not speak well of our fans, or our university. We will survive, Yes we will and the chips will fall where they will. Our athletes will always have my support, and I thank them for their dedication to my favorite school. GO VOLS and I wish the Seniors all the best. I hope the others dont make any rush decisions and lets ride this out together.
