| Each Team will get their grads and extension schools. We have the state of TN and now extended KY. Any one out side a school will go into a free agent draft coming up.
The teams will use the same colors as the host school. I think they will use the same jersey. They want to keep the rivalry going.

If I were UT, I wouldn't give up my brand to anybody -- even a bunch of second-rate former players. I like them using the colors, but I'd be more in favor of a different name and different jersey. C'mon, UT ... don't whore out the Power T!! |

I hope so. But they should take advantage of the opportunity and build their own brand. I mean, I'll try to get behind the team -- may even buy a t-shirt or two.  |

| I think this is actually very exciting news.
It will be a college 'style' type Pro Sport.
Some reports say the Cheerleaders and Band from UT may play for them as well.
But who knows the full story yet.
All I know is this sounds really cool. |
