Six years ago, Pearl was fired from Tennessee after he knowingly committed an NCAA violation by inviting recruits and their families to a barbecue at his house. He received a three-year show-cause for lying to the NCAA and was hired by Auburn in 2014. Still in the midst of rebuilding, it appears Pearl is just fine using his checkered past to help promote Auburn’s other programs, hence the cookout on Sunday to encourage students to attend the women’s soccer team’s game vs. South Carolina. Pearl will man the grill and his players will serve the wings and ribs to their fellow students.
Auburn letting Bruce Pearl host a BBQ…no, really
