How do you know they aren't? Reading between the lines from what Swain & others have said those boosters that have names on buildings etc.. are involved through Spyre Sports.

Dish Network sponsors most all game day radio on the Vol Network. I could easily using Vols in their commercials and promotional stuff on the local level. Wouldn't be almost no money for them and would be a nice hit for the players.

With Charlie Ergen, founder of Dish and Oak Ridge native being a big UT booster, it seems like Tennessee has a unique opportunity with the new NIL rules. Paying these kids to promote Dish and appear on their ad spots, accomplishes not only the objective of paying kids to play for Tennessee, but the platform also exposes Tennessee and what it can do for players/recruits to a national audience. In other words, every time one of these spots comes on Dish, a potential recruit in Georgia or California could see it.

I’m not sure any other school has a situation like that. Other schools obviously have boosters that can pay a kid, but if one of Saban’s car dealerships pays a kid to do a local ad, that’s not being broadcast all over the country.

Just a thought.

Ergen has long kept his personal and business connections separate. While dish has long been a corporate partner of Tennessee Athletics, he personally only gives what is required to get the box that he owns. I doubt seriously his company will get involved in the NIL space, because he simply doesn’t mix the two, other than having Tennessee hints in some of the dish ads.

You should run for Congress, you appear to be qualified for office.

If I was a multi $100,000,000 you bet your arss I would be in the NIL space. It’s no secret that TN wasn’t prepared and is behind in NIL. NOW UT is trying to play catch-up in the NIL space.

So sorry for the typos.

I think you are confusing me with someone else. I’m just making the statement that he features TN athletics on his commercials.

Ergen not that big a booster. Very conservative with money and athletics.

How about 10% to his local church and Tennessee or 20,000,000 a year. Would probably help him with his taxes and he could give 20 million a year for next 25 years to both church and Tennessee athletics and only get to 1/2 a billion of his already 9 billion bank account and he would be 93 years old. I guess he thinks he can take it with him when he dies?

Dish Network already highlights Tennessee Vols football in their advertising. I noticed this years ago. Creating NIL opportunities for players could be very easy as the plan to highlight Tennessee already exists. Here are just two dish commercials as examples:

Dish Network Game Finder TV Spot, 'Spokeslistener: College Football'

Dish Network TV Spot, 'Going Back to College?' Ft. Matt Leinart

that could still happen but no one should expect Ergen to cough up millions for NIL. Maybe I will be surprised by him but just don't see it.

"He's worth over $10 billion and flys commercial airlines in coach class."

Coach? If I've got a few extra dollars I will upgrade. I hate coach!

These are pretty old spots. Dish cut their sponsorship significantly since these aired. Don’t even sponsor the Spring game anymore and I am pretty sure no longer have IP rights for Tennessee trademarks.

A few years ago, Dish always would show film of Tennessee football on their TV ads. I don't know why they stopped.

I don’t see dish giving out million dollar NIL deals. I don’t thinks that would make the dish employees that are making 15 bucks an hour very happy. You don’t want disgruntled employees.

Years ago all his ads for Dish had Tennesse games playing, so at least he did do that long before NIL. Of course, he probably approved that but no money went to any players,
