Olympics are trash. We turned it on at my grandmother's house and they were showing Women's 3 on 3 Half Court Basketball. What the absolute ****?!?! Since when is that an Olympic sport.

Men are competing against women.
People are playing sports nobody cares about.

You go to the ACC and you will not get as talented players to watch because the really good ones will and do play in the SEC. The ISSUE has been the administration and the coaches who have been hired. Bad coach and be blah in the ACC as well. Get a coaching staff that develops and knows how to run UT with the right administration and we will be fine and not worry about Ohio State or Alabama just like we did not worry about them when we had everyone pulling in the right direction and a staff with stability. It is that simple but the question is will UT supporters get all on the same dang page. Up to Body and White to make it happen.

I agree, but we haven’t been in the same page in years. Administration still has ways to go to get everyone going in the same direction. My VFL and some others already had some heated words with DW when they were in Knoxville so I am very skeptical that we can return to greatness. I am in the see it to believe it phase now.

Critique business plan please. Tell me why it's rubbish/will fail....suggestions on how to improve:

1) Create a company - preferably an LLC, S-Corp, or other liability protected entity.

2) Create a board of directors - include a well known VFL, maybe a media member, people the Vol community trust.

3) Raise funds from all of VN and the entire fanbase. Request $50/head. For this they will receive a ticket to win some piece of memorabilia or an NFT (really this is all for show...profits do not matter lol).

3) Contact UT with details of an NiL contract for all 85 football players.

4) Pay each player...($50 x 100,000 fans (goal) = $5mm) / 85 players = ~$60,000 guaranteed "salary" for each player, each year.

Promote UT as the school where you make $60k + COL stipend...so close to 70k hard cash...every single year. Recruits would flock here knowing they'd make 210k-350k in their 3-5 years here. May also encourage guys to stay longer and also not transfer. Yes, the "million dollar" Bryce Youngs may not be swayed...but it sure would help. And all of those 200 4-stars would sure as heck be interested.

they could just bring one on one side the other to the other. Then keep the cross rivalries of the big boy main games. Much easier and keeps every major game. Oklahoma and Texas would be the cross division and nothing else major really changes

I think they better change the donor structure for the right to buy tickets. With more marquee games on TV, and if UT is just middle of the pack, then why pay so much more money for a seat and miss all the great games on TV with the time and travel to Neyland. Sure, go to a game or two and stay home. Even if you paid 400 per ticket for two big UT games, it is still cheaper than annual donations. I think they can definitely make the coin with TV packages to make up for it but they will lose money on the donation side with the living room being a cheaper and better option for fans.

A living room will never be the better option. There is nothing to compare with that feeling you get watching your beloved team to something great with another 100,000 screaming fanatics..it is something that touches your soul and you never forget.
