The University of Tennessee has just released this statement confirming the firing of Tennessee head coach Bruce Pearl. In it, the university sites a March 2011 violation that was not listed in the NCAA sanctions report back in February. Unbelievable! If this is true this justifies why Tennessee is firing Pearl now instead of when many argued he should have been fired back in September when the allegations first surfaced.
However, another issue now faces Tennessee. With the March violation, the Vols will now be forced to report another violation to the NCAA which should only harden the blow of the upcoming penalties facing Tennessee. It is expected that Pearl’s firing will not factor in the NCAA decision whatsoever, so additional penalites are the only option the NCAA appears to have here.
Pearl will receive close to $1 million to depart which is another indictment of Tennessee Athletic Director Mike Hamilton. This violation is clearly a breach of Pearl’s contract which obligates Tennessee to nothing as far as salary is concerned for Pearl. On top of that, Pearl assistants will be only be paid $50K in compensation. Terribly unjust and sad. Do yourself a favor Tennessee and fire Mike Hamilton!
The statement does not issue details of the violation and a journalistic reward I am sure is waiting for the reporter who breaks the story. However it could have something to do with a 30 point beatdown last Friday against the Wolverines 🙂
