Tennessee football: State senators’ anthem stance could wreck program

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - SEPTEMBER 01: The Tennessee State Capitol is lit in red as venues nationwide participate in the Red Alert RESTART campaign to pressure Congress to provide financial help to entertainment and live event industry workers decimated by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on September 01, 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee. The We Make Events coalition is spearheading the event to raise awareness and show support for the passage of the Reviving the Economy Sustainably Towards A Recovery in Twenty-twenty (RESTART) Act loan program and extending unemployment assistance for those who lost their jobs because of the pandemic.

East Tennessee State causing lasting damage to Tennessee football seems like a ludicrous thought.
