And yet Tony V is on his show regularly, as well as is Chris Burke. I heard of tensions through two separate sources, who are definitely in the know and have nothing to do with Basillio.
What does that mean? Well, not much. Danny knows dayam well that if TV leaves and there’s any indication that things were off between them, he’s in trouble. Baseball may not be a revenue sport, but it drives some serious apparel sales and also a massive amount of positive media coverage. You could spend $10 million and still not get the positive press Tony and the baseball program generates. So, when people bring that up, they don’t get the big picture. It used to be that way with the Lady Vols. There isn’t a debate that baseball that it’s the most successful program on the hill. Period, and it’s not close.
TVs concern with NIL money is real and it’s been reported through multiple media folks now. Let’s stop pretending it’s not an issue. I think it’s an issue that gets resolved because I know some boosters who will pony up. I’d say Danny’s phone was blowing up from some big dogs.
