Losing the "regular" UF game was one of my biggest gripes about expansion. Great rivalry that is now basically dead. Hard to keep rivalries alive when you only play once every 6 years.

University of Tennessee trustees say complaints that administration is obstructing athletics aren't accurate

University of Tennessee trustees say they've recently been peppered with calls and emails from fans complaining that the school's academic administration was obstructing the football program.

Horne said some fans mistakenly believe that Tennessee is at a competitive disadvantage to other schools.

"I'm not sure where all the complaints started with the radio talk show people. I think the coaches in all our sports are pleased with the way we specially review cases." Cheek said he's committed to "comprehensive excellence" in both academics and athletics and was willing to work with Hart on financial issues. Since being hired a year ago, Hart has talked frankly about the financial shape of Tennessee's athletic department, which has the lowest reserve fund in the SEC and the highest debt service. "The athletics department gives about $6 million a year to support academic scholarships and debt service on parking garages," Cheek said in the letter to Stansberry. "Most of these commitments were made under previous administrations. Dave Hart and I continue to examine these commitments and we will do the right thing to make sure the budget for athletics is healthy moving forward."

Auburn-
everyone who purchases season tickets must make a minimum annual contribution. The mandatory contributions range from $235-$750, depending on seat location. This contribution is in addition to the actual cost of the tickets. This is for "regular" seats and all but the $235 seats are sold out and have a waiting list. The next step up from this basic season ticket purchase is being a Scholarship Donor and that requires a donation of $5200 for 2 seats and $10,400 for 4 seats. However, that donation does include the cost of tickets, a parking pass, free food & drinks, along with additional priority when it comes to ordering away game tickets, etc. These seats are located on the club level, BUT there are more scholarship donors than seats in club so there's also a waiting list to move from the "regular" seats into club level seats.

ETA: At Auburn you also lose your built up donation priority if you stop giving for one year and get reset to zero.

I don't believe so... the better seats have to be purchased through TUF, but every year there are season tix available w/o a TUF membership.

There's not a waiting list to purchase season tickets, but there is a waiting list to purchase season tickets in certain sections. Also, everyone who purchases season tickets MUST make a minimum TUF contribution and all season ticket holders are now also TUF members. The mandatory TUF contributions range from $235-$750, depending on seat location. This contribution is in addition to the actual cost of the tickets. There are 4 levels of contributions in that range and all but the $250 seats are sold out and have a waiting list.

I wouldn't really call this a "steal" and wish I didn't remember this, but Terry Bowden was at Samford (Birmingham) when Auburn hired him.
