It is our understanding that Tennessee is certainly trying to add some more non-conference games to make up for the cancellations, however considering how difficult it was to cobble together the current non-conference schedule that is certainly no guarantee. If teams continue to have cancellations at the rate we’ve seen this week it’s certainly possible that the Vols could pick up someone looking for a game. - From VolQuest
I was thinking about Tennessee's unfortunate scheduling predicament earlier this morning. Callous as it may sound, we're going to need to "hope" that some other programs encounter issues with COVID-19 in early-mid December if we want a puncher's chance at salvaging our OOC schedule. Everything is further complicated by our slew of midweek games against middling opponents, but if Iowa (Iowa State 12/11, Gonzaga 12/19), Villanova (Texas 12/6, Virginia 12/19) or Kentucky (Note Dame 12/12, UCLA 12/19, Louisville 12/26) face some COVID-19 troubles then I would be highly disappointed if Fulmer wasn't immediately on the phone with their opponents' ADs in an effort to patch together a respectable slate of games.
