Tennessee Pays Big for Nonconference Games | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

College football’s business side just got a lot more expensive—Tennessee is paying Furman $500K for a Sept. 5 game, part of a 2016 contract delayed by the pandemic. With the SEC now playing nine conference games, teams like Tennessee book just three nonconference matchups annually, often locking in lucrative deals years ahead.

Big contracts, big checks, and serious financial planning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
