Thunder did not turn on Fulmer. He is still his biggest supporter and is very upset about the ouster.

Thornton does not have that much say.

Jim Haslam and Charlie Anderson, both former players, have much more clout than Thornton.

Both contribute more cash as well.

Yeah?

"After selling his rug company, "Thunder" gave $1 million to Tennessee for the chance to run with the football team through the "Power T" formed by the marching band during a game at Neyland Stadium. Money went toward an athletic student life center -- the Thornton Center."
