I have to tell you...this is fairly accurate. Don't think it is an accident that we suddenly are good at sports we have not consistently been that great at for decades before $$$$$$ to the players hit such grand numbers. Sports is important to us. Much more so than other areas of our lives versus the average person out there. We have a lot of fans that place a lot of self value on how UT sports does.

Yup, the Big 3 have never been collectively better in Knoxville.

We made the CFB Playoff.

Back to back Elite 8 in Basketball and we won the College World series.

You could argue no school has gotten more collective bang for their buck than Tennessee across the Big 3

I question the exclusion of Michigan from the Top 10.

 

[KnoxCentral92]

Lady Vols bb spending as well I would think. Wonder what thes girls get? Probably inline with the idea behind Nil. Public appearences,autographs,commercials etc. Not the pay for play it became. Im def not against anyone making money.. Just Curios

 

[brainvol]

Vols throw $ to multiple sports, men and women and yes baseball. Other schools, like KY focus on a particular sport. Hence, we my not have the bucks for one sport to be top dog.

I question the exclusion of Michigan from the Top 10.

Considering they just dropped 8 figures on Underwood a few months ago-probably a wise query.

As a fan, I like seeing us that high on the list. Then my brain kicks in and I realize there are more than a few questions

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

No one knows this information.

Yeah isn’t Larry Ellison spending out the ass for them because his young gf is a Michigan alumna?

I think this list may be accurate...but remember, this is just the collectives. If boosters want to drop a few million on a recruit like Underwood or Nate Ament, they can simply drop that money and it isn't coming from the collective.

So it may be true that Tennessee has the 2nd richest collective, but we're behind others in outright booster money.

Kind of contradicts these threads about us not being able compete in NIL. We spread it around more and it has produced fantastic results, both competitively and financially for the programs


DW knows what he is doing

We're a national contender in virtually all our sports.

This is a sickening and ultimately embarrassing take… if you place self value on a college football team you have some serious work to do on yourself.

No we’re still behind plenty. The boosters make the difference.

Ok

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Ohio State kicked our asses in the PLAYOFFS, similar to the other games they played. In a fair seeding we wouldn't have been playing them, but that's actually beside the point. How did their basketball program stack up to our elite 8 team? Oh yeah, their baseball team to one that won the National Championship? We can go down the list

I think we’re spreading the funds around. Would love to see football get more.

 

[Titans4Vols]

BS.

Seems to be total spent on all sports. Considering how much we spend on basketball(mes and womens) and baseball(softball team is great too so probably some decent money there too I imagine), us being near the top is probably accurate.

I'm with you on that. I love Vol basketball and I'm happy that our baseball program is successful. That being said TN Football is my undying passion and has been for damn near 40 years. The outcome of a game can alter my mental health and mood for weeks. Hell I'm 44 and I cried like a baby girl when we beat Bama in 2022. There's few things in this world I want more than seeing my Vols win a Natty
