This is also a good reason why the Big Ten would be a good landing spot for UT and it gives credence to the people who say Pac-12 football doesn't mean anything to their fans. I have to admit, I'm surprised the ACC is so weak. But then again, outside of Clemson, FSU and Virginia Tech, they don't have many schools that are football crazy.
