Lies, lies, and damned lies...
You have got to read this letter sent to Bruce Pearl! It was sent when Bruce's lies were first in the TERMINATION!!...
IN OTHER WORDS, BRUCE PEARL WAS ACTUALLY FIRED back on September 9.
He is currently just working on a day to day basis but currently has no contract and no agreement.

Note the very strong wording!!
"This letter constitutes notice that the University of Tennessee is exercising its right to terminate your Employment Agreement ...
..you knowingly violated NCAA rules..
..you (knew and) admitted to (the recruits) and their families that (it was) a violation...and you asked that they not tell anyone either."
You failed to .. self-report...
You failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance...
and failed to protect the integrity of the NCAA's investigation..(by rehearsing and conspiring with your staff to lie and give false answers).."
..and calling the father of one of the recruits to alter his testimony...
"gave false and misleading statements to the NCAA..and falsely certified in writing.."
"Based on the facts described above, Chancellor Cheek and I have determined that you engaged in gross misconduct, including dishonesty and other other acts involving intolerable behavior..
the University is TERMINATING YOUR EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT..."
Here's more -- just about everyone is astounded that Pearl is still coaching after these latest revelations...

The Sporting News thinks this is all quite astounding that the University never bothered to mention all this stuff and it's only now being found out because people have pursued these documents via the Freedom of Information Act!

Pearl thinks this is all just a distraction..

Here's more of one observer's comments...
"While watching all the guys making acrobatic dunks in warm-ups, it was obvious this team has tons of athleticism. Offensively, they look like they should depend on that athleticism to make things happen, instead of the pass it around and shoot when the defense leaves a guy open offense they've used in the past.
Things can change, but Blue's starters should be the favorites to start in game one. It was hard to tell what the rotations will look like behind them, though.
The play looked pretty ragged, but it's day 6 of practice
Clarke looked solid as a Blue starter. Hawley played hard on the lesser White team, and did some nice things offensively once the teams evened out a little after half. Rice shot too many 3's considering how strong he is, but nobody played inside much. Wiseler looked pretty good for a guy who tore his achilles about 10 weeks ago, and looked close to 100% physically."
Here's an incredibly great blog piece on Wichita State...whoa, would love to have this kind of coverage on Bradley...

Note Ellis is talking redshirt...David Kyles in the doghouse...and coach Gregg Marshall publicly and vocally a bit negative on certain players..
"..guys are trying to do too much too quickly..

While junior college transfer Joe Ragland is doing well, Marshall said sophomore Demetric Williams is out-playing Ragland."

And a lot of Creighton fans were not pleased with some of the things that happened when their message board changed over to a Rivals board...
There was bickering, the fan base got split when they made part of the board a pay site and excluded some fans..and there are still arguments.
So some of their fans have started up another message board...seems like a really good one -- one of the better boards I have seen at the mid-major level -- certainly one of the best in the Valley. Good luck to them.....

Here is a guy doing Conference Rankings......by Sports Illustrated -- they think the Valley is the 9th best conference...
I think we will see that this guy is wrong...and how does he have the MWC so much stronger than the Valley -- the facts will prove him wrong!
