While UT considered Reid Sigmon for interim AD job to replace the fired John Currie, Phillip Fulmer will be named the athletic director at the 4 pm presser, but don't know if full time or interim. With Fulmer at the helm, don't be surprised if pool of candidates opens up.

Tennessee has been fined $100,000 for fans rushing Neyland Stadium after the No. 6 Vols upset No. 1 Alabama Saturday. This is UT's second offense. UT fans rushed the basketball court after a 2006 win over Florida ($50K fine). A second fine is $100K. A third fine would be $250K

Sources: SEC men's basketball official Anthony Jordan, who had facebook post 5 years ago appearing to show he is an LSU fan, was suspended by SEC after the LSU-UT game Feb. 23. He has not called SEC regular-season game since nor will he call any games in SEC tournament.

Here’s a shoutout to UT football fans. UT bought 5000 tickets at $130 each for Saturday game at Auburn. (Florida bought 2900 for trip to Knoxville Sept. 22). UT also sold over 65,000 season tickets for a team that hasn’t won an SEC game since November, 2016. That’s impressive.

Former member of UT board of trustees unhappy with Schiano hiring: "In the current environment you couldn't have done anything worse than perceived to have known about Jerry Sandusky (and said nothing). You (UT) can't take that chance. I'm speechless. Unbelievable. "
