Who is UT's biggest Boosters?

[LWSVOL]

Just seems like we aren't making the "Haslam hires" like we used to.... is it because he has more respect for ADDW than he did Currie/Hart/etc.?

I think certain donors are going to always be aware of hirings and firings in athletics as long as they are pouring dollars into the program. That can be viewed many ways but I believe the Haslam's have the respect of UT admin to always be in the loop and admin will listen to their "advice". Might not always follow it but will seek it. Other donors as well. DW, DP and RB all understand you have to include those folks or risk losing the gravy train they provide. You can call it respect, but that goes both ways.

Thunder Thornton, Allen Jones and Toby McKenzie all paid around A Million to run threw the Power T

I'm surprised Allen Jones was able to run at all.

You can probably run through the T for face value on a ticket if you’re faster than security. A million bucks just means you can still watch the game after.
