Bruce Pearl apologizes to Jimmy Collins

[tornado]

Amazing story -- and I have a renewed respect for Pearl - though with reservations....

but this took place way more than 20 years late,
Bruce Pearl met up with Jimmy Collins in New Orleans this weekend and apologized for the lies he told to NCAA that got Collins and U of I in touble back in the '80's

Agreed! It takes a big man to do what he did.

Hopefully that's not an April Fool's joke (since the article came out March 31st, it's probably not). Otherwise, good for him!

others are reporting the same thing so it probably is not a joke

One serial cheater apologizing to another serial cheater. How quaint.
