The Orange Lining

I'm going to ignore the implications this report has for college football as a whole, because Vol fans are desperate for some good news.

Everything about college football is getting bigger, and that includes expenses. Coupled with a still sagging economy and those much touted television contracts (an issue that's overlooked when it comes to factoring in declining ticket sales, in my opinion), only fourteen FBS schools turned a profit last year, according to the NCAA. To the legion haters out there, who cannot contain their glee the third largest non-racing stadium in the world, hasn't been sold out every game in recent seasons, Tennessee was on that elite list. Hallelujah good news, and go Vols!

(Alabama, Florida, Texas, Ohio State, and Missouri have also been confirmed.)
