Rankin has stated, publicly, that he WILL be at Alcoa in 2011 and has no plans on leaving. However, I do feel he will be there next year but once his son graduates, even though he has an underclassman daughter, I feel his stay there will be very questionable.
For people that know him or know people around him, trust when we say that Tenn football is much better off. Especially if you want to pull away from the "Hey look on ESPN, UT players got arrested again" image that UT has seemed to get lately. Him living knoxville was a completely positive thing...
Technically they only had 1 champion in Wisconsin and Nevada but I do see what you're saying. Hints why i mentioned above about complete conferences or "super conferences" where you would have a north/south or east/west division where the winners would play in a conference championship game and...

The rest however werent D1 scholarship athletes that had any playin time which is what we were discussing. Big Al did sign papers but never played a down at UT.
Alcoa has had open enrollment for aprox 64 years and its never been a problem. It wont be one any time soon either. Just a bunch of haters and whiners gonna complain because they cant put out the talent that Alcoa does! :olol:
