Bruce Pearl is not an NCAA investigator, and recording conversations in an attempt get dirt on another school that recruits your kids sounds like a clear conflict of interest.

Please look up what a "conflict of interest" is before you sound sillier.

Yet Bruce got fired, is safely out of our grasp at Auburn, and Josh isn't going anywhere.

Yep.

Plus it was more than that. When you read the conversation it really sounds like the kid just wanted to get off the phone and didn't even know what he was saying. The article is long and there's a lot of testimony to get through. Looks to be true that Pearl tried to sabotage another program by throwing a kid under the bus.

Is this the worse thing that goes on? No. It is just more evidence that Pearl is not only under scrutiny, but prolly not respected/trusted by other coaches...which means they might be gunning for him before he can do the same to them. Wonder what kind of watchers Cal has on him.

There's a lot of shady stuff going on in college recruiting and everyone knows it, but generally speaking you don't create the incident in order to sabotage another program, not to mention jeopardizing a teenage kid's whole future. Everyone's vying for recruits and pushing the outside of the envelope.

Pearl poked a hole in the envelope and pushed someone through.

When CUSA is the sane one, the end must be near.

I cannot believe that you actually had the gall to say that. When that is exactly what you and others are doing to Pastner.

Pastner hasn't exactly been awesome and I've been far from his harshest critic. Stick to NASCAR.
