Bruce Pearl, who recently stepped down as the men's basketball coach at Auburn University, has been named a college basketball analyst for CBS. The move follows comments from a television host suggesting Pearl was 'pushed out' of Auburn for being 'divisive,' a claim Pearl denies, emphasizing his efforts to bring people together and his ongoing advocacy for various causes. Pearl will now contribute to CBS Sports and TNT Sports' coverage of the national college basketball tournament, both calling games and providing studio analysis. During his tenure at Auburn, Pearl was one of the program's most successful coaches, leading the team to multiple tournament appearances.
