Think of it this way -

You have an ongoing criminal case against you for alleged charges - charges which you deny

Then you also have another civil case going on against you at the same time, stemming from the same situation

NO ONE is going to discuss matters in the civil case until the criminal is wrapped up

That's how I am viewing this. The criminal allegations are on going - hell we don't even know the FBI's full scope of the investigation.

The civil matter - the internal AU investigation or NCAA investigation - is also going on.

He's doing right to stay quiet until the FBI is done.

Again, frick those people at AU who leaked this stuff to the media.

I agree that Pearl staying quiet is best for him. I just hate that it is front page news on ESPN. His reputation combined with this doesn't speak well for his claimed innocence.

Sidenote: This story came from Schlabaugh, so it could all be complete BS. And it is the kind of story that AU is not going to refute whether true or false due to the ongoing investigation. Schlabaugh made headlines and the school's best interest is not to comment or refute, he wins regardless of validity.
