We don't have to pay players. We'll be fine.

But we do have to play these players...how will we pay bills? /Power 5 ADs

Let's not forget a car wash!

Wow, such weak posts and opinions.

I apologize, couldn't resist the car wash. As for your post, i wouldn't be surprised to see something happen with the lack of money that won't be coming in.

Ohio State has the "Stanford problem."

Remember a couple of months ago when Stanford cancelled 11 varsity sports programs? Yeah, that was because the $$ are tight in this covid environment, sure. But it's also because Stanford had, at the time, 36 programs. Thirty-six.

The average university has 18 programs. Tennessee has 20. Florida, 20. Georgia, 19. Bama, 21. All across the country, the average is 18.

Here's the kicker: Ohio State has 30. And unlike Stanford (which is down to 25), I don't think Ohio State has yet canceled any programs.

So they, like Stanford, have been forcing their football program to carry a full bus load of other teams, plus the AD's office. And now the burden has become untenable.

Long story short, no, I don't think Tennessee has anything to worry about along these lines. We're in a much more financially stable place.

Go Vols!

Bet they could keep the Cheerleading, gymnastics and Volleyball programs afloat.

Low hanging fruit is hard to resist.

And unlike UT they don’t collect any student fees.

Canton Texas has the largest flea market in the world. Canton Ohio needs to try harder.
