Former Tennessee men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl will receive a multiple-year show-cause penalty from the NCAA's committee on infractions, multiple sources with knowledge of the NCAA's report told ESPN.com Tuesday.

A source said that Pearl's camp expects a three-year penalty.

Pearl's three former assistants -- Tony Jones, Steve Forbes and Jason Shay -- will receive one-year show-cause penalties, the sources said.

The NCAA had called to alert the respective parties that the report would be coming out Wednesday and, according to a source, the Tennessee university administration had seen the report by Tuesday afternoon.

Sources told ESPN.com's Chris Low that Tennessee will receive no additional penalties in football or basketball other than what was self-reported for the institution. Prior to appearing before the committee on infractions in June, the school had self-imposed two years of probation, including self-imposed penalties for both football and men's basketball.

In addition, the sources said, two major violations that the football program was originally facing were found to be secondary and former coach Lane Kiffin will not face any further sanctions.

A show-cause penalty means a school wanting to hire a coach serving that penalty must appear before the NCAA committee on infractions to explain why it wants to do so.

If the school chooses to go ahead with the hire, it would have to agree to any possible additional penalties the committee might want to levy.

Traditionally, schools have stayed away from a coach on a show-cause penalty. But the NCAA has no jurisdiction to force a member school to hire or fire a coach.

Pearl was charged by the NCAA with unethical conduct after he acknowledged covering up who was at a cookout at his house, including Aaron Craft, then a high school junior and now playing at Ohio State.

Pearl was given multiple sanctions by the school and the SEC, including docking $1.5 million of his salary, a one-year off-campus recruiting ban, and a coaching ban of eight SEC games.
