Here are your Tennessee notes for Thursday:

Tennessee has unveiled a new donation policy that will require donors to specific academic programs to also give money to a new “Tennessee Fund” if they want to right to buy season tickets to UT athletics.  In other words, donors can give to the “Tennessee Fund,” but they can no longer control how that money is used.  Well, at least it’s not the “Human Fund.”



New UT strength coach Aaron Ausmus is big on speed and the ability to change directions quickly.

Bruce Pearl is off to Tel Aviv to coach the US team in the Maccabiah Games.  Think of it as the Jewish Olympics.

No UT football or basketball players made the SEC’s spring academic honor roll.

Finally, we usually don’t cover the arrests of former SEC athletes (that would require another fulltime website), but when your name is “Cooter,” well, you can expect a mention.  Former UT backup quarterback and graduate assistant Jim Bob Cooter has been arrested for breaking into a woman’s home, stripping down to his underwear and climbing into bed with her.  Really.
