I was rooting for Rutgers...but that's not the reason for this post...

 

Does anyone else find it a little insulting...a little ironic.. that they dare to have pay-per-view games???...

 

 

Are you talking about just Tennessee games or CFB all together??

 

Any college team..

I think for some teams its fine but for a team like Tennessee when the pay per view a lot of times don't even air out of state why can't a local station in Knoxville do the broadcast and simalcast it over the state through out the state what Station in Chatt, Nash. etc.. wouldn't want to broadcast a Tennessee game and I am sure plenty of local sponsors could fill commercial breaks. I have seen Vanderbilt games done by Rudy Kalis on Channel 4 in Nashville and I think they have also done a couple MTSU games.

I don't think it's fine for any state-supported school... the gate at a UT game has got to be huge...and if they can afford to pay little teams to come in and take a loss at the beginning of the season...they can do without the pay-per-view...

Speaking for one of those "little teams," I can say that the 20-40% of PPV revenue that goes to the opponent is kinda nice considering that the average UTK PPV broadcast brings in a cool half-million dollars.

So for 200,000...MTSU will be UT'S whipping-boy???...Heck...they've been doing that for Tech for free for years...How ya been, iamoz??

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
