Not since 1949, if I remember correctly.

Novel idea, but not at expense of Neyland home game. IMO, international games are built for NFL...put best athletes in the world in a big European soccer venue makes sense...but think CFB is such a unique campus game day experience, which is different than NFL. Charter a plane and get them to Neyland on game day...the poster him self said Neyland was a life changing experience.

It was earlier than that. 1920's?

It was made official in 1949, formally separating the Republic of Ireland from the British Commonwealth.
