Auburn coach Bruce Pearl issued 2-game suspension as part of NCAA penalties

The NCAA issued a two-game suspension for Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl, but will not issue an additional postseason ban, as part of its ruling released on Friday regarding infractions in the Auburn men's basketball program dating to 2017.

Pearl will start the suspension on Saturday when No. 18 Auburn plays Nebraska, he said via the Auburn Observer's Justin Ferguson. The Tigers (7-1) host North Alabama on Tuesday.

"I’m appreciative of Auburn University, our leadership, the AU family and our current and former student-athletes as we navigated through the challenges of the last four years," Pearl said.
