The 12-member panel of the NCAA Committee on Infractions features a lawyer from Malibu, Calif., a former George W. Bush-appointed U.S. attorney, two conference commissioners, one of Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols' court-appointed attorneys, two former standout women's basketball players, four law professors and only one person with direct SEC ties.
Hundreds of years of experience in law and athletic administration will be on the other side of the table when UT administrators, men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl, the school's team of lawyers and others will present their case on June 10 and 11. Though UT desires it, a summary disposition was all but ruled out by NCAA Vice President of Enforcement Julie Roe Lach in a letter to UT chancellor Jimmy Cheek.
The people who will peruse those documents with scrupulous, diverse and experienced eyes:
