He will be back. It might take a couple of years, in fact, probably a couple of years. However, he won a D-II national title at Southern Indiana, and made Tennessee relevant. Someone will take a chance on him.

I disagree whole-heartedly. He didnt really cheat. He lied about something that would not have resulted in any penalties if he had told the truth. The NCAA treats that worse than actual crimes... ie Dez Bryant being suspended his entire Senior Year for lying.

Pearl will get a job next year. He made TN basketball relevant. And took an otherwise dismal program and made it a national contender. 6 years... 6 NCAA tourney appearance. The schools first #1 ranking in 2008. And one point from the Final Four Last year...

He'll get a job very quickly!

You can't spell "lying cheating scum" without "u t" - the NCAA needs to bring the hammer down.

They have been getting a pass for about 40 years now.
