UK / UT / VU for all sports
Even when they are down the Dores and Vols tickets in Rupp are hard to come by but the same can not be said for the other SEC schools. It was a big issue when making UF the pema for UK in basketball. It was a TV deal because Gators do not travel as well. Secondary sports means higher draws for all 3 schools. At Vandy the draws they get from UT and UK are evident at games.
3 hours means more fans of all three schools will make day trips that might not make overnight trips. Southern KY and Northern TN is home to many crossover fans. Also, VU alumni in Louisville have a straight shot and easy drive between Louisville and Nashville going back to the old L&N railroad days but now replaced by the interstate.

We are only talking football in this instance. The other major sports won't be divided up the same way due to the fact they play more games.
