    Tennessee received its notice of allegations from the NCAA Tuesday detailing infractions by the men's basketball, football and baseball teams, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

    The heaviest charge of unethical conduct is expected to be handed down to basketball coach Bruce Pearl for misleading investigators over a barbeque at his house when prospective student-athletes were juniors.

    According to multiple sources, the Vols will go in front of the committee on infractions at a hearing June 10-11 in Indianapolis. The committee meets in April, but the Vols couldn't get on the schedule in time because they are afforded 90 days to respond to the allegations and wouldn't make the April docket.

    That means Pearl, who is currently working without a contract, will not learn of any further sanctions from the NCAA until deep into the summer.
