:no: Not the answer. Cutting off nose to spite face. I wear my orange daily. Will continue even if we go 0-12. This is not a pro team. It is a school. I have two family members that have graduated. One is a senior now. I pray that my 3 boys are so blessed as to be Vols. I am a VFL. Win or lose.
However, if our admission process is more strict than others school we most definitely ARE at competitive disadvantage no matter what the University says.
