Do they all do it? Perhaps, but Pearl is the leader in the clubhouse. I don't like anything about him.

Good for you.

I like the enthusiasm and winning he brought to Knoxville on the men's side. I liked his showing up at the Lady Vol games in body paint and the rapport he had with Pat Summitt (who chose her words very carefully when asked about the situation) who showed up in a cheerleader outfit to cheer on the men's team. The team won and the fans came out.

If you don't care about Tennessee basketball or are an Illinois fan who holds a 20-year grudge, fine, he's a cheater, run him out of town, whatever. But personally, I don't give a sh!t about any of that. At all.

It's a crime that the AD (who sacrificed the team last weekend in a calculated move in an effort to save his sorry a$$) still has a job.

And the violations were what? Having a recruit at a BBQ at his house? Making a phone call or 100 too many? Y-A-W-N.
