Will the NCAA accept?

now we have to see if the NCAA is what they say they are.

They aren't.

Probably, but I liked the outcome. I guess, though Pearl could just get another job and avoid any of it.

Who is gonna hire a coach who admits to lying to the NCAA???
UNLV???

Pearl will likely be gone once everything is sorted through IMO. The violations originally in question would have landed them a slap on the wrist. The lying, on top of what the NCAA may find in digging though our program will equal major trouble.

I'm inclined to believe they will.

Those are pretty stiff self imposed penalties, in regards to lying about a meaningless secondary violation.

Here's a hint....who was the BB player from the Lewisburg area that was going elsewhere and then ended up at UT?

I have no idea.

The players I have heard stories about are:

Ramar Smith (Test scores, and academics in general are more than fishy)

Duke Crews (See Smith, Ramar)

Scotty Hopson (the whole recruitment, from his Miss St. commitment up until NSD in the fall and then out of the blue deciding he wouldn't sign, to looking like a UK or LVille lock; to signing with Tennessee; Steve Forbes also recruited him)

Josh Selby (Whole recruitment was bizarre; from committing to Tennessee on his first visit; to decommiting at a Nike camp; to eliminating Tennessee all together; to putting Tennessee in his final 2 with Kansas. His mother was also known to be looking for a hand-out. Steve Forbes recruited him.)

Tobias Harris (thought to be the player the throwaway phones center around; he was thought to be a Big East lock and Tennessee's staff doesn't have major NYC connections)

Not a snowball's chance in Hell. You're about to get hammered.

Pearl fessed up shortly after he lied. We won't get hammered.

Oh, ok, since the duration of the lie was short, you're probably right. They won't mind much. The NCAA tends to overlook things as long as you're generally a good ole boy.

When this NCAA shite starts winding down on UT, Pearl's gonna do a Pete Carroll. And Vols that have been firmly in his corner will riot and paint their rock again.

Vols will be luckey to have a BB team. And a baseball team, and oh yea, a football team when the NCAA gets through with their "probe".
They will come up with LOIC. And the rest will be history.
Your bama buddys can clue you on what it feels like to have to swallow,not spit.
