That's what UT self-imposed before going before the COI in June, along with some minor recruiting restrictions.

That sounds about right. The NCAA might dock us a couple of schollies in addition to that, but two years probation was what I was expecting to see the NCAA hand the football program.

I'd say the NCAA's sanctions for the basketball program might be a little more than that.

I guess we knew this, but somebody turned Pearl in concerning the Craft visit to his home.

Also of note, the response reveals that the NCAA received the infamous photo of Pearl posing with then-high school junior Aaron Craft at his home from an anonymous source via U.S. Mail. Underneath, the caption read: "Question: Is having Aaron Craft a 2010 high school recruit in your home an NCAA violation? I wonder if the NCAA would think so …"

The questions are 1. Who? and more interesting to me is 2. How did they get the photo?

Some of you may know this but I don't. Enlighten me.

Members of the former staff seem convinced it was Thad Matta at OSU- so much so that Tony Jones was openly cheering for UK on Twitter when they beat them in the NCAAT.

As BDV says, most people think it was Thad Matta. I think the photo was a camera phone pic taken by somebody and sent to Craft but ICBW.

As bad as I wanna be mad at Matta for being such a weasel, we cheered on Fulmer for ratting out Bama.  Pearl is still the one who I'm upset with at the end of the day.  All he had to do was be honest.
