Do you feel like with UT being a dominant football school, that the Athletic department is more willing to settle for making the tournament every year and hopefully litter in some SEC titles/sweet sixteens/elite eights? Obviously in the past its always been a case of UT hoops living in the shadow of the football program, kind of like the bastard child so to speak. (as is the reverse in UK).
It seems they are happy to have their basketball program perhaps treading water a bit above average, making some big time TV games while focusing on the bigger picture, which is football.
Otherwise I see no reason for signing the great orange one to a long term 6 year deal.
