BRUCE PEARL STAYING IN KNOXVILLE, RENEGOTIATES CONTRACT::

"I want to ensure the University of Tennessee and its fans that I’m 100 percent committed to this school, this program and our student-athletes.

"I truly love my job, and I want it to be clear that I’m not interested in any other job. There’s no place in the country I’d rather be than the University of Tennessee. My children are happy here in the Knoxville community—one is in high school, one is in middle school and two are currently attending the university.

"My staff and I are building a consistent top-25 program and I’m honored and privileged to serve the greatest fans in the country. Tennessee has all the resources necessary to win championships, from our recently upgraded facilities to our ability to schedule.

"It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol!"

More quotes from Pearl and Mike Hamilton from the University's official statement, from the News-Sentinel.

I was so happy I didn't read this the first time through.

Yay for community and family values!

Good point

A factor that many of us either overlooked or just didn’t want to say. East Tennessee is a great place to live.

Since Memphis is still looking for a coach...

I nominate John Brady!

I'll be very curious to see how the salaries play out.

Doesn’t Summitt still have a clause requiring her to get more money than the men’s coach?

ahh...

Good things come to those who wait!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
