Maybe? Or it may just make the inbreds circle the wagons even tighter when the perceived great media conspiracy against UTK becomes a reality.
I hate to say it, but not showing up is all that the average fan can do to influence the situation. If you are unhappy, but still go to the games and spend money in Knoxville then you are a Fulmer enabler. The Friends of Phil may be able to make up the difference in lost revenue for the UTAD by writing a few big checks but they will not be able to make up for the negative economic hit that K-town will take and that is not something the BOT can ignore.
