So basically we’ll know tomorrow if they’re going to fire Bruce.


Nah, this is the 3rd time AU has threatened. It is hard to believe AU has enough donor support to make this happen tomorrow because it either requires buyout (no support) or legal clusterfrick (last thing Leath wants)

What is more likely is we start seeing a lot of Schlabach esque bullshite about basketball Trickle out, Wiley/Purifoy held out and BBall recruiting tank due to investigation

It will turn into a game of attrition, where either they find cause or they wreck Bruce's image for donors to agree to fire him

Put it this way, it shouldnt be surprising that every time they've threatened Pearl to cooperate or get fired something comes out

1 Time- News/Slam piece that Pearl refuses to "cooperate" leaked which Pearl seems to be in the right on

2 Time- Frankie / Other guy suspended, never told what for and "sources" claim for vague "similar/related to Chuck Person investigation"

3rd Time- Marcello + Others alluding to Auburn uncovering things on AU assistants potentially Pearl etc



Eventually fans/boosters will either believe it or so worn down that they're ready to move on than deal w this mess

Based on some of the very un-presidental replies Leath has been sending to people who have emailed him, I don't think he was expecting the amount of support Pearl has been getting and is not happy. He may be realizing how bad an idea following through with this threat would be and I hope he is.
