Yea, not so sure about 'free market works'. If this leads to an even more uneven system with a few powerhouses and a vast majority of second tier teams, that's not a good system. Hopefully, the end result is a competitive landscape across many teams where players largely are committed to a school and not just available to the highest bidder. Mostly, I'm about results and what makes college athletics optimally entertaining for the fans and yes, good for all involved parties. There's a reason over the years that I've become less and less interested in Pro Sports. Players leave at the drop of a hat. Owners could care less about the fans. Owner gets a better deal or taxpayers refuse to fork over millions, and said owner flees to Baltimore.

As opposed to what? Bama, UGA, Ohio State ran herd for decades whilst “protecting student athletes”. Clemson broke into that club but are suddenly destitute? No one has ever paid out what they couldn’t and that’s not going to change. I call bolsch on some of the programs claiming poverty. They seem to have enough to lure/retain HCs, high caliber OCs/DCs and recruiters. Now you have to pay your stars…boo hoo. I generally don’t make declarations, but here’s one: We’ll still be having this conversation a decade from now and the PRODUCT will still be there to discuss. The only difference will be a decade of cautionary tales and doors to not enter for full reflection. All the professional leagues had their “I’ll never be back!” fan backlash and all set revenue records because…the free market works.

Two. Terrace. 50 yard line.

Used to come with very close parking (last season was G10), but we got demoted about 6 lots without warning or explanation.

And after losing the deduction for the "donation", reducing the cost by selling tickets to one or two of the best games is no longer viable. You end up double taxed, adding further insult.

I’m late, but just gonna assume that shortly after this post, your boat mistakenly strayed into the Bermuda Triangle and was lost. 😡

We finally get an awesome football coach and he is going to retire here. When he went back to oklahoma as the HC of Tennessee, he is very thankful for the opportunity that he has at Tennessee. He realizes that he has the chance to be the offensive version of General Neyland! Rocky Top is in his soul now.

That does suck. I wish you could keep those seats.
