Auburn got what they deserved

In August of 2011, Coach Bruce Pearl of Tennessee was fired and was placed under a 3-year "show cause" sanction by the NCAA. He was hired by Auburn while still under that sanction. Given Auburn's history of skirting the edges of propriety, is anyone surprised? Now Auburn is at the center, not of an NCAA investigation, but of one by the FBI. Two of Pearl's best players are ineligible as a result of that investigation, and reports by ESPN say that Pearl is under heat from the school for not cooperating with them in their internal investigation of the matter.

Should anyone at Auburn be surprised? To paraphrase a very old proverb, "Whatsoever a school soweth, that shall it also reap."
