The University of Tennessee (UT), sometimes called the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UT Knoxville or UTK), is the flagship institution of the statewide land-grant University of Tennessee public university system. The system is headquartered in Knoxville and includes campuses in Memphis, Martin, and Chattanooga. In partnership with Battelle Memorial Institute, the University of Tennessee also operates Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Athletics and sports
Tennessee is unusual among major U.S. universities in having completely separate athletic departments for men's and women's sports (another such school is the University of Arkansas). Men's teams are called the Volunteers and women's teams the Lady Volunteers, but the "Volunteers" is frequently shortened to "Vols," especially in reference to women's teams.
Football
Main article: Tennessee Volunteers football
Tennessee competes in the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division, along with Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt, and has longstanding football rivalries with all of them along with another long-time rival, Alabama, in The Third Saturday In October. The Volunteers won the 1998 NCAA Division IA National Championship in football. They are coached by Phillip Fulmer.
Basketball
The men's basketball program is headed by Bruce Pearl. Through his guidance, the men's program has been revitalized and claimed the 2005-2006 SEC East Title and closed the season with a 22-8 record and a NCAA Tournament berth. In men's basketball, the most important rivalries are with Kentucky and, to a slightly lesser degree, Florida and Vanderbilt.
Tennessee has one of the strongest women's basketball teams at the college level. Pat Summitt, the Lady Vols' head basketball coach, is the all-time winningest basketball coach in NCAA history, having won over 900 games as of 2006. Tennessee and Summitt also have a rivalry with the University of Connecticut in women's basketball. These two schools have consistently fought great games against each other in recent years, occasionally with the national championship on the line. The main women's basketball rivals for Tennessee within the conference are Georgia, Vanderbilt, and LSU.
Baseball
The University of Tennessee baseball team has reached the NCAA College World Series 3 times. They have produced players such as Todd Helton, Joe Randa, Chris Burke, and the number one overall pick in the 2006 MLB draft, Luke Hochevar. Their current head coach is Rod Delmonico. The Vols are ranked 18th in the college baseball 2007 preseason poll, with catcherJ.P. Arencebia and outfielder Julio Borbon, who is former MLB player Pedro Borbon's son, heading the NCAA preseason All-American list.
Facilities
UT's best-known athletic facility by far is Neyland Stadium, home to the football team, which seats over 107,000 people and is one of the country's largest facilities of its type. Neyland is currently undergoing a renovation costing over $100 million. The men's and women's basketball teams play in Thompson-Boling Arena, the largest arena (by capacity) ever built specifically for basketball in the United States. The former home of both basketball teams, Stokely Athletics Center, still stands and is now used by the women's volleyball program.
The Alumni Memorial Gym was another indoor athletic facility. It was built in 1934 during a construction campaign under school president James D. Hoskins, and was replaced by the Stokely Athletics Center in 1967. The facility hosted the Southeastern Conference men's basketball tournament in 1936 and 1937 and again in 1939 and 1940. It is now used as a performing arts center and seats 1,000 spectators. |
