Bruce Pearl is reportedly refusing to cooperate with Auburn’s internal investigation into his men’s basketball program.
According to a report, Pearl has been notified that his job is in jeopardy if he doesn’t cooperate.
Here are details from ESPN:
Auburn men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl is refusing to cooperate in the school’s internal investigation into his program, and university officials have advised him that his job is in jeopardy if he doesn’t, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Auburn officials retained a law firm to conduct an internal investigation after former Tigers associate head coach Chuck Person was arrested on Sept. 26 as part of the FBI’s probe into college basketball corruption. Person was indicted on six federal charges by a grand jury in New York on Tuesday.
Sources told ESPN that Pearl has refused to talk to attorneys conducting the university’s investigation, and they’ve been yet unable to determine if Pearl was involved in NCAA violations or other wrongdoing because FBI agents seized his computers and cell phones as part of their investigation.
