Not looking good for Pearl's oyster bed.

Both Bruce Pearl and his staff are being seriously disciplined by the UT higher ups (although I don't see how AD Hamilton will survive this fiasco, too). Pay cuts and big time recruiting limitations.
Coach Bruce Pearl will not be permitted to recruit off-campus from Sept. 24, 2010 to Sept. 23, 2011 and will receive a $1.5 million pay cut during the remaining five years on his contract. Each of his three assistants also had their salaries docked and will be forbidden from recruiting off campus for anywhere from three months to a year.

A modest question: if you're athletic director, how can you justify NOT firing a coach who admits that he lied to the NCAA?

I'll ask again, what does it take to get fired at Tennessee? Guess his win-loss record is all that matters.
