    I'm interested in how this stuff works so thanks for the chat. I was a little uninformed and certainly didn't put it very eloquently. Thats on me. I don't have access to the "Spyre chalkboard" as you put it, I just read articles from analysts and publications that I trust so it's nice to hear...

    Hey. Fair enough. Thanks for the insight. I never once said we didn't have a great donor base at all. It is true that allocation of funds to all sports is more important to Tennessee than it is to many other big time programs. Basketball, Baseball, women's ball, and even track and swimming have...

    I never said anything about money issues. Just that it seems like Tennessee doesn't have that guy who has a ton of money who is willing to overpay for certain football players like Larry Ellison at Michigan and Cody Campbell at Texas Tech. Spyre is a well run operation and Tennessee has a fairly...

    You know what, I do remember that now. I wasn't aware of direct NIL boosting donations from the Haslam's. I'm appreciative of what they do. I wish there were more people like them. I'll try not to talk out of my ass as much lol

    What's with the hostility here? We're just talking, guy. Our NIL could clearly use a boost whether it's from a few big time donations, or a lot more small donations. There are ways that we can help our team besides complaining that we can't keep up with Texas, Georgia, etc.

    Are you sure? I could have sworn to have read that it was Larry Pratt who donated so much to the basketball team this offseason. If you have any link at all saying that they donated money over the last couple of years SPECIFICALLY to securing more NIL money, I'll accept that I was wrong. The...

    Hey man, I tithe what little I have each month to the church of Neyland. It'd just be nice if people with more did the same šŸ˜‰

    Because some days I'm too busy to research and I shoot from the hip. Apparently I was wrong, and that's okay. I'd rather learn than double down on a BS. We all BS a little on this website.

    Hey you know what, I spoke out of my ass without knowing facts. My fiancƩ had me doin sh!t all day and I directed her negativity towards the Vols and their donors. That's on me. In a weird way, I kind of started to understand negavols. It's never really the vols that they're mad at, is it?

    They are fans. A billionaire superfan would throw money at the NIL to make a difference. They threw money at the stadium to get their company's name on the field. A billion dollars is an incomprehensible amount of money that nobody could ever need. $25 million is a drop in a bucket for them...

    You can't really pay everyone $500K. Especially with no billionaire superfans. One of us needs to get on Shark Tank before we can expect to get EVERY 5 star OL

    '26 MS WR Tristen Keys (lsu commit)

    Also why are we forgetting Omarr Norman Lott. Garner got his hands on him and immediately doubled his production and got him drafted in the second round by a two time Super Bowl team
