Also, for the city buses while they say last bus leaves 1 hour after the game - they really don't stop the buses as long as there is a line of folks waiting.

Yes, used it last year for the first time. Actually, felt it is better than the Ag Campus - quicker back and then you are well away from the traffic hot spots around the campus.

I dare say MOST of the athletes are at the school for the education. It is a few that will ruin the ability for the bulk of them.

Then you cut the tie completely with the school. It is no longer the University of Tennessee Volunteers but the Knoxville something and that entity that hires them has to either build new facilities or buy / pay to use the ones on campus. Bottom line there would need to be some connection...

Not sure what is true, but he seems to be a problem.

The majority of the student athletes earn degrees and earn them early. They do attend classes and learn something else besides their sport. That is what students do - take classes, learn, earn a degree. They are students as well as athletes. And they are not the only ones who partake in...

I understand capitalism and have no problem with that. The purpose of an educational institutions is to educate students, perform important research, etc. My problem is with the thought that these athletes get nothing in return for playing at a high-profile university. It is a two-way...

No personal opinion from one who is tired of the greed and craziness that is ruining the University.

Either straighten up the mess or end the concept of college football and let all the schools get back to educating our youth,

I dare say that most Americans don't know the difference between Medicaid and Medicare. And the media and politicians use that to their advantage to mis-inform. Sad really!

Yes. The problem is that he told the coach to go back to the dugout for 'asking what the warning was for'. It was the assistant that originally complained about the balls and strikes. And to be honest, not sure why questioning balls and strikes warrants any type of ejection.
