Too expensive. Nowhere to play. UAH had NCAA D1 hockey until s couple years ago. No conference would take them due to travel. It's just not feasible in Knoxville or much of the South, unless a block enter together. Georgia and Alabama are only ones close to being equipped for it. Maybe Vanderbilt. Arizona State and Penn State are only recent program additions, and they had massive donors. Lindenwood moved to D1 but had a public facility next to campus.

Then as I said, gymnastics. This isn’t hard.

Not an official poll? No option for Poker!

I imagine we could get a few National Championships I’m sure. Being Lifelong Vol fans in itself is a gamble on your sanity.

Men's Volleyball. Volleyball is a really fun sport to watch. It's a really fun environment for the Lady Vols volleyball matches.

I think if vote was expanded out hockey would win. I like volleyball and wrestling too, not much on soccer. I just think Hockey would have the potential to bring the biggest fan base overall. Especially if the entire SEC played hockey.

Why do we not have an indoor track for ur Mens and Women's track teams? An indoor facility would definitely our recruiting WRs and RB. It is embarrassing that we have fallen so far in track and field.

Gymnastics is big in several SEC programs, and there is a lot of interest in the area. That would be my pick.

From a personal fan perspective, I would say Hockey or Soccer.

To my knowledge the UT wrestling program ended after the 1986-1987season. The ending had nothing to do with high school wrestling in the state. U.T. had some very good wrestlers from the state on those teams. Opportunities and accolades were harder to come by in those days. Just a simple, quick example: Tn had one state tournament, all classifications, public and private, together. Now Tennessee has at least 3 divisions with 3 champions in each weight class.

I do not disagree with you on the sport growing in the state and doing well. AAU has helped, as well as more divisions and classifications.

My uncle was on the team when UT ended the program. Came out of East Ridge.
