"It's a matter of trying to stay ahead of the curve. Facilities have a tremendous amount to do with that. You can talk to a recruit all you want about how committed you are to athletics, but until they see something physically, that's all it is, talk. These facility improvements will put Tennessee back in the mix of the top eight to 10 schools in the country."

Phillip Fulmer, Head Football Coach

"It's not about having the nicest lockers or the biggest arena. It's what results from giving our players and our fans first-class facilities. Demonstrating to our student-athletes that we're a big-time school creates an automatic level of respect. They know that they have to work hard and respect the program to be worthy of the investment we're making in their athletic careers."

Pat Summitt, Head Women's Basketball Coach
