Bruce Pearl is doing a great job especially wth everything that is going on. He has done nothing that others have not done, there has just been an issue of this. I know if you look deep other coaches have done things to. Yes, Leslie if you don't like the color orange leave!

Speak for yourself.you do wrong you need to pay the price. not just a slap on the hand. Bruce Pearl is a smuck, crooked, and a total jerk.... just wait til he gets caught at other things he is doing !!!!!!! Does anything supprise anyone that happens from Ut anymore? its not breaking news its just something that slipped out....
Yeah, who wants to watch two beautiful female tennis players when we can see a grown man cry like a baby because he got caught doing something wrong? Good job bringing us the real hard news! This is yet another example of UT's corrupt athletics depts and is hardly anything close to "breaking news."
