Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton met Monday with head coach Bruce Pearl and an announcement is expected to come later this afternoon regarding the coach’s future, according to a report earlier today on VolQuest.com, the Tennessee Rivals site.
The site Mrsec.com, siting “sources close to the Tennessee program,” said Pearl will likely be offered “a $2 million parting gift.”
The site added:
“If Pearl goes quietly, takes his money and accepts the NCAA’s accusations, UT might be able to get a summary disposition (a quick ruling) which would allow the school to chase a new coach and tell him what sanctions he’ll inherit.
“If Pearl decides to fight some of the NCAA’s charges — even if he’s fired by UT — the Vols won’t get a summary judgement.”
