Another question for him about Pearl would have been why Dez Bryant was suspended for the year for lying to the NCAA while Pearl hasn't been suspended for the year for lying to the NCAA. Bryant didn't even lie about a violation, unlike Pearl.
The NCAA hasn't ruled on the Bruce Pearl case yet.
They very well could suspend Pearl for a year.
So that would mean, for lying about having a BBQ at his house.
Pearl is suspended for 1 year and 8 games, fined 1.5 million dollars, and suspended from recruiting for an entire year.
Would that punishment really match the crime?

FWIW Gary Parrish said on his show yesterday (he was in Indianpolis with Emmert on Tuesday)
That there is no doubt in his mind the NCAA is going to hammer Pearl.
Said the NCAA has done crazier things than let UT off, and they're an awful organization that never follows precedence. So you never really know what they're going to do.
But if he had to bet on it, Pearl is going to get hit with a year suspension. Said UT will probably take it, and use Tony Jones in the interim. And Pearl will be back in 2012.
Also said that the NCAA has failed to do anything in cases far worse than Pearl's where they had facts.
Mentioned Cory Maggette getting paid at Duke as example number 1.
