you would think after getting fired at Tenn for screwing around, Pearl would have to rehab at a 1AA school, but no, he goes from one SEC school to another.

Down there, "ethics" is a four-letter word.

over/under on NCAA investigation 2 years then?

I wonder who wrote the Just/Cause letter to the NCAA to explain why Auburn had to hire HIM specifically and couldn't find any other qualified college basketball coach. College athletics is a cesspool. Sometimes I feel really dirty because I follow college sports.

He invited a recruit to a cookout and lied about it. Who cares. There are much bigger things to be angry about in the world of college athletics.

He's a fat-orange-successful-basketball version of Lane Kiffin.

Hopefully Auburn did not use an Executive Search firm, they must not have done a background check.

I read that the head of athletics compliance at Auburn was the lead investigator (for whatever that's worth) in the Tennessee case and signed off on the hire.

Just another kinda skeevy basketball coach returning to his natural habitat of college sports.

Auburn is also the place that hired Chizik and paid Scam Newton to come to town. This....shouldn't be surprising.
