Our financial circumstances have placed us in need of your help more than ever," he wrote.

Tennessee, which had seven home games in the 2018 season, netted $29 million from football ticket sales and $26.3 million from contributions, which includes the required donation tied to most season-ticket purchases.

He emphasized fans will get a tax deduction as well as "the pride of knowing you’re making a tangible impact in support of our young men and women."
