Fireworks For The Fourth-Two Out Of Three Raises Are Announced
From UT Sports:

I’m decidedly in the “Good God, could we stop talking about the coaches for a while?” category. That being said I do have some comments on the new contracts for Bruce Pearl and Phil Fulmer.
Bruce Pearl:
I don’t have much of a problem with Bruce’s contract. The basketball team makes money now, the basketball team has national prominence now, and was ranked number one in the country last year. Bruce is a hot commodity, and if he was let out of his contract he would be out of work for about as long as it takes Bobby Maize to free-style a rhyme. Bruce’s contract is fine. He’s led the team to two Sweet Sixteens and the SEC Championship last year. That’s a recent history of winning, and he deserves to be paid for it. Some of the specifics: Read more »
