If you ask me, Bruce Pearl is all but gone from Tennessee. Recently it was learned that the University of Tennessee has terminated Pearl’s contract leaving him as an at-will employee without a definite term. Pearl and his staff have received self imposed penalties which are the results of break some NCAA rules for unofficial visits, entertainment and meals and knowingly having broke the rules yet signing an NCAA certificate stating otherwise.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Since all UK fans better be watching the Kentucky vs. Georgia game (or else accept the wrath of Cobb), we thought we’d throw this out there for informational purposes. You can read the entire letter from the University to Pearl [B][URL=”http://assets.espn.go.com/media/pdf/101022/notice_of_termination_of_agreement.pdf”]here[/URL][/B].
It seems to me that Tennessee is doing everything they can short of releasing Pearl. I think at the end of this ordeal, he’ll be searching for a new school. The question is, when will the end be?
