Chaser.

Kind of feel like the Sun Belt CFP expansion statement was released to directly oppose Pac-12 pushing for Power Five autobids. pic.twitter.com/DtDjqEFx9r

Larry Scott’s final legacy:  being legitimately shit-talked by a mid-major conference.

Athlon’s got a question.

Tennessee has a new head football coach for the fifth time since 2008. Will things be different for the Vols this time? https://t.co/2IPUlej3t6

Heupel will have to piece together a better defense than he had at UCF, where his units ranked among the nation’s worst, but the talent level at UT is lacking.

Think I’m gonna have to go with “not any time soon”, Athlon.

The most honest public comment of Bill Hancock’s career

Hancock, asked about athletes possibly being compensated for playing a longer season: "My hope is there can be more benefits for student athletes if there is an expansion of the Playoff … but there's no interest in our room in pay for play."

So, the man himself’s gonna take the bull by the horns if the membership doesn’t get off its collective ass and pass something.  Wonder how that’s going over.

Was driving but can confirm this memo. Hope is to have Alston ruling before start of Tue/Wed D1 Council meetings in the afternoon. Frustration with Emmert, especially after sending a memo worded like this out, approaching an all-time high. https://t.co/hApcbiFxQw

Talk about a bunch that deserves each other…
