He turned in those "supposed" violations on the basis of an illegal wiretap.
Illinois was never penalized for those "supposed" violations, but the NCAA apparently found other reasons to penalize Illinois. So, Mr. Pearl is still villified in these parts.
Does that make me a member of the "geekdome club"?
