Auburn has hired former Tennessee coach and current ESPN analyst Bruce Pearl to be its next men's basketball coach. The school announced the hire Tuesday morning, less than a week after firing Tony Barbee.

"From the moment I met Coach Pearl and heard his vision for our basketball program, it was clear he's the right man at the right time for Auburn," Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said. "Coach Pearl is a proven winner who will bring energy and excitement to our program. We have raised the bar for Auburn basketball, and I could not be more excited for our student-athletes and our future under Coach Pearl's leadership. I know he agrees with me — it's time to win."

Good summary on his "show cause" status:

Pearl's show-cause penalty ends on Aug. 23 of this year. CBSSports.com reached out to the NCAA for a comment on the matter. It said, "Since this hiring was announced before [Aug. 23, 2014], Auburn and Pearl will have to file a report with the COI within 30 days of his hiring agreeing to prohibit Pearl from recruiting until August 23 (or contest the restrictions)."

Auburn did not have to go through the NCAA in any way to confirm/get permission on Pearl's hiring. Auburn either has to accept the punishment as is, or opt to contest the conditions. It has until April 17 to do so.

The irony to this entire situation is that Auburn's assistant athletic director in compliance is a man named Dave Didion -- who was reportedly the lead investigator in the NCAA's case on Pearl. Didion knowing the ins and outs with the case could cause reason for Auburn to ask the NCAA to reconsider Pearl's show-cause status, but it's exceedingly unlikely any changes to the punishment will come.

As it is, Pearl will probably -- probably -- not be able to go on the road and recruit this spring and summer. But his new staff -- which will be not under NCAA show-cause order -- will be able to recruit in full. We will have an answer on this by mid-April.
