True, didn’t even think about that.
Auburn/SEC fans at large don't seem to realize just how serious Pearls frickup was.
It wasn't a BBQ that did him in, it was that Pearl was a legit "bad guy" in the process and risked the careers of coaches and players.
I love Pearl, believe he made a mistake and learned + has fresh perspective on his role as a coach. He has made amends as best he can with Thomas, a guy who says they're good after recently called Pearl a "Snake" 30 years after their incident. Pearl has owned his mistakes and is trying to make an impact that goes well beyond the court.
Any lingering doubt for me though was erased after the post game. The selfish thing would be for Pearl to make a scene and talk about how his team got screwed. He chose the right road, what was best for the players, coaches and school
I'm happy he's our coach, scars and all. I think he's a better coach for the players, school and community because of the mistakes he's made

I do think was a legit “bad guy” in it, but a lot of it came out of him just thinking this was a small thing he could lie about and it would blow over. But you’re right, he put a lot of people at risk and didn’t properly weigh the consequences of everyone involved. He’s grown from it.
