The ncaa system has enabled corruption and Pearl has not been the factor of bringing ncaa scrutiny or the FBI's...the entire system is corrupt. You don't know Bruce on a personal level. I lived in Knoxville during his time in Tennessee and he cares about his players. He is a good father and loves his son greatly. He has honor! He gives back to others and the communities.

Bruce doesn't "happen" to get balls through hoops. He reached 300 wins faster than any coach in history except Roy Williams by only 12 games. And he started off as a team manager at Boston College, where he graduated.

Yes, he has gotten dirty relevant to recruiting. I definitely didn't like how he handled himself in the Illinois recruiting issue with Thomas and the secret recording etc etc and he flat out lied about Aaron Craft not being at the cookout etc etc. He is far from perfect but he's no less than you or me...flawed and in need of redemption.

So Pearl lost a bidding war with another school and then turned the other guy in to the ncaa.

Then later, at another school he requests a player and that players family to lie to the administrators and the ncaa, for which he was given a show cause.

Yeah. He sure has honor!

What kind of honor is this? Just exactly how has he shown this honor?
