Twenty years ago, Bruce Pearl was a hero.
Pearl was then a little-known Iowa assistant, and he did something coaches never, ever do: call the cops on one of their own. Pearl was recruiting Chicago prospect Deon Thomas for Iowa. Thomas told Pearl he had a hell of an offer from Illinois: $80,000 and a new Chevy Blazer. Pearl recorded the conversation and notified the NCAA.
This year, Bruce Pearl is a liar and a cheat.
Pearl is now the Tennessee head coach, and he admitted Friday to lying to NCAA investigators about excessive phone calls to recruits. Pearl will be docked $1.5 million in pay over the next five years, and he will be prohibited from recruiting off-campus for a full year. The NCAA could punish him further..........
Pearl was once the NCAA's most famous whistle-blower;
now he is one of its most infamous liars.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/michael_rosenberg/09/10/bruce.pearl/#ixzz0zEHhWLtO
