Must be the offseason…
Even if it were true, Tennessee can easily go to any other power conference including the Big 10 because they are AAU.
Yeah, go ahead and kick Tennessee out and keep powerhouse Vanderbilt.
This is a crazy take, kicking out a traditional program that averages over 100k per game…lol
University of Tennessee is NOT AAU.
The SEC is not going to kick out Tennessee.
There can only be one ut. Tennessee about to find out.
They are making room for us. 
This rumor needs the same type of solution that has the seriousness of the original rumor. It is clear that the SEC has no room for two UTs.
I see that the University of Texas does not play the the University of Tennessee this year. The first time they play each other in the SEC, the stakes need to be a “loser leaves the conference”. This rivalry has been building for over a year, with Tennessee upset that these “young turks” from Austin think they can push the SEC teams around. The University of Tennessee President has reportedly stated “There is only room for one UT in this great conference. We are going to take these young turks out to the woodshed and make them crawl back to the B12.”
Oh, please - NO . . . . .
This is so dumb i am not even going to read it!! CMON!

Stupid is as stupid does.
Sorry but people are just going to have to accept the fact that the old days are over, conferences are merely an alliance for tv revenue purposes only and it’s every school for themselves. Pretty much the way a business is supposed to operate.
