It seems a lot of you are frustrated that Jones is not gone yet, but it's well known that waiting a few more weeks will save UT a cool $2.5 M.

I often hear that "big money boosters" need to step up.

Well...if a guy is worth $100 million, and he covers the whole thing, he has given away 2.5% of his net worth. The equivalent would be a person worth 100K giving $2500.

Well...according to this website, the average household net worth in Tennessee is about 400K. So this gives me an idea!

Crowd source it. You want a guy worth $100 M to buy out this year of Butch's contract? Do it yourself, and you only need 1000 buddies to make it happen!

Come on...you want the "big money guys" to do it and whine when they don't. DIY baby!

I'll start the drive myself. :p

Quite whining and put your money where you mouth is! :rock:

Here’s the simple problem with your “math”

We have billionaire and half billionaires in our top 20 boosters.

But i digress, this fanbase is ran by village idiots.

If I was a billionaire booster and I wanted Saban. I would go get him and he would come.

Or is it run by village idiots? And who is the actual idiot? :lolabove:

I am well aware that Haslam is a billionaire, and DishTV mogul Ergen is as well (how strongly Ergen cares about UT football compared to Haslam is debatable).

This is more about YOU, or at any rate those complaining about Butch not being bought out.

Hell...Haslam is reported to be worth $2.5 billion. So even for him, $2.5 M is 0.1 %.

That would be the equivalent of $400 for the average net worth of a person in Tennessee.

How many of you are willing to donate even $400?

And let's take into account that Haslem is likely already donating a ton of money to UT. How many of you have given one cent?

So how about it? It would take 6250 people donating $400 to pay Butch's $2.5 M additional buyout prior to end of season.

It's easy to sit back and whine, and want someone else to pay for it. Put up the money yourselves, or STFU. :)

As long as you are digressing, I think that you wanted to say that this fanbase is run by village idiots - somewhat making the case that you are one of the aforementioned village people..... not that there is anything wrong with that. :)

It sure is easy when I'm spending someone else's money. And it makes me mad when they don't listen to me.

When you realize one of the ways many of the rich guy's ex-peers have become poor is taking the advice of idiots? You realize why the smartest ones get together and make jokes about you trying to get them to listen.

For you excellent shot and even better selection of targets, may I say well done?

The point is mods that there are 20 “gofundmes” available for fans to choose from if they want to help fire CBJ

So in the OPs opinion, our big money guys need to open their wallets? I never even thought of this :)

If the UT AD sent me a letter saying we want to fire Butch, but we need your help to do it, I'd gladly send them my hard earned money. I do not get these threads that attack the fanbase. The piss poor results are not due to the fanbase. Every fanbase has some crazies and idiots, we are no different, but one thing we have shown is that we are loyal to Tennessee. These "villiage idiots" are largely why Tennessee can fund $340 million renovations.

Have any of you all read his contract? Reading them would stop a lot of the falsehoods being floated around on here or other sites.

Here's the original contract and the amendments
