WATCH: Whitney Houston's Biggest Interview Moments
Bruce Pearl and the Tennessee basketball program have been asked about possible violations in the Volunteer program by the NCAA, according to multiple sources.
The AP, citing an anonymous source, reported that the NCAA has talked to Pearl and assistant about possible excessive contact with recruits. The source told the AP that the league had also spoken to associate head coach Tony Jones, who is Pearl's top assistant and heavily involved in recruiting. ESPN sources also confirmed the story and indicated that the investigation may include use of unauthorized phones.
Tennessee has not yet received a formal letter of inquiry from the NCAA and would not comment on the investigation.
The Volunteer football program self-reported six secondary violations under Lane Kiffin, though ESPN reports the NCAA has expanded its investigation into the football team beyond the inquiry into the use of hostesses at high school football games.
The Volunteers went 26-9 last season and advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament, the school's best-ever finish.
