Where there’s smoke…

[Mullins2010]

Danny White has single handedly made UT games unaffordable for the vast majority of Tennessee fans just trying to take their family to a game or two each season. He has completely commercialized UT athletics. Yes, he has done some great things at UT, but at what cost of the ordinary person............

Lol

 

[Majors]

TV got DW a national championship and DW
approved a massive upgrade. I doubt he’s wanting his guy, whoever that is. DW locked in TV a few years ago when LSU came calling.

Winning does that.

 

[SNAFU]

Idk but I think this thread is bordering on HOF status. May be some of the most ridiculous statements made I’ve EVER read on Volnation. And that is really putting it up there with some all time silly stuff . . SMH!!.

The thread with the poll asking if DW should be fired is pretty epic.

Getting randy over in the FF, eh?

No doubt.

Yeah I saw that one later as well. . It’s comedy for a slow week….and beyond silly!!

 

[CAVPUT]

I'm going to be physically sick if TV leaves...

Cup on....barf bag in place. Awaiting the announcement....please let it be the Vols.

I’m letting the boys hang freestyle, commando tonight.

Screw Danny and to hell with girl’s basketball. Invest in baseball

 

[lukeneyland]

Guy on Volquest is saying the same thing. He says DW is withholding the NIL commitment to help Tony leave on his own then wants to bring in his new guy and give him all the resources and more.

Truth is probably somewhere in the middle…except for them disliking each other.

We can get an other douche AD. Tony is irreplaceable

 

[MadMaxSC]

Danny Dimes thinks he’s above everyone. He can’t stand that Tony Vols is thought of so highly and the fact he didn’t hire him. If Barnes wins a natty same thing will happen. I’d get rid of DW before I’d let Tony Vols leave.

Sorry, but I disagree. Tony V has done a great job with baseball but DW has done a superior job across the entire sports program.

It's called Return on Investment. Tony's program doesn't produce revenue. Lady Vols bring in many times the cash that Tony's bats do. DW is putting money where it should go.

2025 projected baseball revenue sharing

I don't believe in equal revenue sharing. I believe in ROI. Ultimately, it is a financial decision and ROI should be priority.

You are so wrong. The women’s team has been in the red as of late because no one gives a damn.

 

[Shaun1985]

Tony is one of the highest paid people coaching the game of baseball in college or the pros. Dudes getting a new stadium and is oozing of support from the fanbase and athletic department. Truly not getting the Danny White hate. Is there a better AD in sports? He's a freakin rockstar.

 

[Action_1505]

It's early in the day, but you're in the running.

LV Basketball lost more money last year than baseball.

Uhhh...you might take note of the numbers of folks who agree with me. That said....meh.

The game of college football has become commercialized. Supply and demand.

It's almost like tickets get more expensive when the teams get better and there is more demand for them. Wait...are those market forces we learned about in freshman economics actually real?

 

[Vols410]

Y’all dragging one of the best ADs in the country through the mud because of a few baseless remarks from nobodies is peak FF bullcrap. Worse even.

It’s no coincidence that UT sports are collectively as good as they’ve ever been. Wanna go back to 10-15 years ago? Butch, Cuonzo, Raleigh, Warlick? DW has played a massive part in it, per anybody that knows anything about the program.

Results like we’ve seen don’t happen when ADs withhold resources. Stop dreaming up a tragedy that doesn’t exist. If Tony leaves it would suck, but it’s the majors for crying out loud.

Agree 100%. And in no universe should baseball receive similar funding as football. The roster sizes are different, the equipment costs are different and the revenues are significantly different.

No one with any logic or common sense would think baseball should received the same funding as football. Now, desiring the same or more than LV Basketball is a reasonable request.
