It's likely that from now on that the term VFL will mostly be applied to fans and former players. Most (I said most) of a recruiting class will not be on campus after a few seasons. The fans are Tennessee's greatest thing going and will get let down the most. Many fans that live month to month buy tickets to watch millionaire's play is ridiculous. How long will we care if it continues down this road.

VFL had nothing to do with fans
I respectfully disagree with that statement. Fans (true fans) love their team in feast and famine. You can't say that about a good percentage of players. I live in the real world and understand business decisions, but when the money and glory comes ahead of loyalty and thankfulness you're heart is not been given to the team.

Fans heart being given for the team? 😂

How many of you have sweat, bled, or been injuries for Tennessee football?

It’s easy to drink beer, eat potato chips and give your all for Tennessee on your couch. It’s a lot different to do it on the field.

We have the best fans in college football imo but for a lot of these kids football is a business. Most care about their teammates, most care about the coaches and the program but they also care about making money. Coaches, tv, universities, everyone else are being paid billions of course the players are going to want a share and want to negotiate their best share.

A lot of people are raising hell about the few players that left; the vast majority of the team is still here and are dedicated to making this program elite.

Disagree all you want but it's true. It was a program started around getting alums back into the program. Of course the fans glommed onto it but that wasn't the intent. That good percentage of the players you reference likely put more into the program than fans tagging themselves vfl

You are wrong about that. I have spent a lot of time and money following all Tennessee sports. It cost me a lot of time and money every time I travel 6 hours to the game. I've been a Vol for over 60 years and will be until I die, that makes me a Vol for Life!

The best thing about Tennessee sports are the fans. Not everyone drinks beer, eating potato chips and sitting on a couch. I have invested a lot of time and money into supporting Tennessee and so has many others. The fans always do their part, even when the team doesn't sometimes.

The best and the worst thing are the fans.
