Bruce Pearl: Repeat offender
October 4, 2010 3:28 PM
When Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl reportedly invited top junior recruits to his Knoxville home in fall of 2008, violating NCAA rules, it wasn't the first time he crossed that line.
Kevin Fitzgerald, the compliance director at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee -- where Pearl previously coached -- confirmed that the university self-reported a violation on Aug. 19, 2004 after "Coach Pearl invited a prospect [and his parents] to his daughter's graduation party hosted at his house, a violation of 13.05.5.3."
