Bruce met with the school, and cooperated with the investigation by providing enough information that he was able to keep his job.

And I believe Duke is paying players.
And? Is there something there I'm supposed to be upset about? Pearl's bullsh*t goes beyond paying players.

if you think Bruce is scum....
Bruce did record (illegally?) a phone conversation with an Illinois commitment,and then turned the recording over to the NCAA in an attempt to get the Illini in trouble.
Some could interpret that as being scummy

I was pointing out that what you think doesn’t matter. You didn’t have to prove it with the successful follow up post.

I didn't expect any different, just like I wasn't the least bit surprised he was hired in the first place. It's Auburn after all.

He had a bbq and told people to say it didnt happen. That is sooo awful. quote:

He's a damn good coach, and a very likable guy. The article even mentions his ability to divert a negative conversation in another direction entirely to where you don't even recall the negativity at all.

No doubt, and Bruce was an assistant to Tom Davis at the time. The Big 10 was full of creepy, Paterno-like coaches in that era: Tom Davis, Gene Keady, Lou Henson

Tom Davis was Paterno like? Are you high on crack cocaine?

He gave off that holier-than-thou attitude. Like Paterno did before the walls came crashing in

Oh. Ok. That totally makes sense.

What? There’s been plenty of similar articles written about Calipari. And Kentucky has dealt with NCAA violations in its history.
It doesn’t make it any less hypocritical to point to Bruce Pearl as the “rot” when Roy Williams is still coaching in this same tournament after the UNC class debacle and Coach K is still riding Zion Williamson as well after the FBI wiretaps.
