So, Tennessee just dropped Army from their 2022 schedule and picked up a crappy Akron team. And they had to pay Army $500,000 to do it. Here's some context on it.

Tennessee is apparently scared to play Army.

According to FBS Schedules, the Volunteers paid the Black Knights $500,000 to get out of the game and will now play a horrible Akron squad.

How far has the SEC fallen that Tennessee is too scared to play a team like Army? Imagine Alabama canceling a game against a team like Army?

Hell, imagine Alabama, LSU, Georgia or Florida canceling a game against any decent team. You can’t do it because it would never happen.

Yet, Tennessee is too scared to play a solid Army team, despite having way better players and way more resources.

The fact they canceled on the Black Knights tells you everything you need to know. The Volunteers weren’t confident they were going to win, so they pulled the plug.

It’s beyond embarrassing. It’s downright shameful.


If this is the state of football in Knoxville, then fans shouldn’t expect the Volunteers to be good for a very long time.
