Tennessee won’t get additional sanctions

Other than what it has already self-imposed, the Tennessee athletic department will not be hit with any further sanctions from the NCAA, multiple people familiar with the investigation told the Knoxville News Sentinel on Tuesday.

The individuals requested anonymity because the NCAA is set to announce Wednesday the findings from June’s Committee on Infractions hearing.

Former men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl will receive a three-year show-cause penalty while his three former assistants — Tony Jones, Jason Shay and Steve Forbes — all will receive a one-year show-cause penalty.

A show-cause penalty means a school wanting to hire a coach serving that penalty must appear before the Committee on Infractions to explain why it wants to do so. If the school chooses to go ahead with the hire, it would have to agree to any possible additional penalties the committee might want to levy.

Kyle Busch pleads guilty to speeding

Busch, who doesn’t need a license to compete in NASCAR, also was fined $1,000, sentenced to 30 hours of community service and put on one year of unsupervised probation in Statesville, N.C. He pleaded guilty to speeding and no contest to reckless and careless driving in North Carolina District Court in Iredell County.

Busch addressed the court before his sentencing, apologizing again for driving 128 mph in a 45-mph zone in a bright yellow 2012 Lexus on May 24.
