Viewership numbers alone aren't the whole story. There's more money in those damn Yankee territories, thus more affluent viewers with more disposable income - and a hundred wealthy consumers are worth more than two hundred impoverished consumers (figuratively speaking, of course). And in a...

If I were basketball Switzerland I suppose I would care about its fairness. Thankfully, I am not. All that article did, mostly, was compare two programs, each of which have eight national titles, and ask if each was still one of the best jobs in its sport. For one, the answer was a resolute...

Funny how they say Kentucky is a blue blood in spite of their relative lack of success in the last 20 years, but Tennessee's lack of success means it's just another program. More of the same from the Bristol bozos.

You shouldn't. There is no reason to buy named jerseys. They neither need nor want your support. Only your money. And only until someone else offers them more than you can -- at which point you'll look at their named jersey and think "why did I buy that?"

Nothing I love more than sitting in Neyland hearing the PA system blast generic songs played at dozens of other college and pro stadiums across America. The real shame about 3rd Down for What was that Tennessee more or less owned that song when they started playing it. It was synonymous with...

What is that person's problem? No one is deserved a special explanation or a "vision" or whatever she's complaining about. And no one outside of the head coach and the AD should even be a part of the conversation.

Indeed. One common observation I've heard over the years is just how average most professional team practice / training facilities have always been. I recall several articles with photos that showed those facilities to be real dumps. Like, borderline indistinguishable from a community...

Not only do I not care about her answers, but I'm irritated this is even a thing. Let her do her job for five seconds. Seriously, do you want her to get started recruiting, or worrying about the answers to pithy social media questions? C'mon now.

We have, but now that Brian Rice has said the same thing some of us were saying on here throughout the season - and being lambasted for even suggesting the thought - I'm somewhat of a mind to rub some noses in it. For just a little while. Just until supper's ready ... ... next week ... month...

That can't be. That's impossible. IMPOSSIBLE. People on here have sworn up and down for the last eight months that there has never been a NIL problem and that NIL was not impacting recruiting. Even when other posters who had ties to the program said as much, people picked fights and argued...

I can understand your point, but to counter, I would say that context only matters at a place like Tennessee. Or UConn. Possibly South Carolina, if they continue to grow expectations there. Certainly in the timeframes given to the two previous coaches - I don't think there are many schools...

No, that's not what I said at all. I said I wouldn't be surprised to learn if that was the case, which is an upfront declaration of speculation. I never said I knew, and made it very clear I was only speculating. Of course I don't "know." I never claimed that I did. As for what I said, I...

When did I say I knew who was on the list? What are you jumping down my neck for?

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that most coaches, especially those with success that brings them both fiscal and job security, would look at a place where making the NCAA tournament every year and reaching at least the second round or even the Sweet 16 isn't enough to keep the job...
