Drugs and guns = suspensin with probable dismissal Take notice Hamilton and Pearl: I don't care that the guns were not being used. I don't care that it was just marijuana. I don't care that the loss of these guys could mean losses on the court. I want them banned from the state of Tennessee, not just the university.
Pearl prepares to play with only six scholarship players This is what teaches young men right from wrong. I hope he sticks to this. Young athletes need to learn that their actions affect the team. This attitude of "play them so it doesn't affect the other team members" is a crock. Until they pay and their teammates pay as well, they will not learn. These 4 were charged with no felonies. However, they made bad decisions that need to be turned around bfore they do something worse!
I have to assume that the powers that be decided they aren't going to let things get out of hand like Fulmer did when he was the coach. There wasn't a Fulmer Cup for no reason. To get the kids attention you have to show them you mean business. Fair but tough.
Oh how right you are Terry. I like the way Mike Hamilton is discussing these issues. UT adopts ZERO tolerance policy
