    KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton said in January that the troubles within the Volunteers program must end.

    They haven't -- violations, arrests and a bar brawl have been among an embarrassing list of incidents.

    Now the NCAA is getting involved.

    The latest black eye for Tennessee came Friday when men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl acknowledged publicly that he gave misleading and incorrect information to the NCAA about possible violations during a 17-month investigation of his program.

    "People make mistakes, and we all make them," Hamilton said. "I've made them. I've made plenty. Bruce made one mistake in this incident, and he came forward to correct it. I'm glad he's our basketball coach."
