We have a lot but not really any "huge" names in the business.

Skip Bayless went to Vandy, but I'm not sure he classifies as sports media. To me, he's just the world's most obnoxious troll.

I'm pretty sure we don't have anyone. I know Kandace Krueger was a local sports reporter for a time.

Agreed on Bayless. Vandy does have a few others, though:

Grantland Rice
Fred Russell
Buster Olney

and just because I like him,
Roy Blount Jr, though it has been a very long time since he was with Sports Illustrated...

I don't think Travis went to UT. But we do have Charles Davis and Gene Wojciechowski.

Don't think so, but Clay Travis apparently got both a JD and an MFA from Vandy. He must not have liked the lawyering very much since he got the MFA 4 years after the JD...
