(And please: no comments from you young whippersnappers about the declining relevancy of "dead-tree" media.)

In this morning's Tennessean:

> A lead-in on the front page to the article on VU's class appearing in the sports section
> An article about VU's class on the front page of the sports section
> An article about UT-K's class on the front page of the sports section
> A separate listing of VU's class with extensive bios of each player
> A separate listing of UT-K's with extensive bios of each player
> A brief article on TSU's class accompanied with brief bios of each player
> A brief article on APSU's class accompanied with brief bios of each player
> An extensive article on where The Tennessean's "Dandy Dozen" are going
> A listing of all FBS signees from the state

Thats it. The largest university in The Tennessean's coverage area would not have been mentioned had we not signed the player from Nashville Overton who was among the 45 +/- players in the listing of in-state FBS signees. Two FCS schools with more coverage on their signing classes this morning than FBS MT.

An example of a HUGE problem MT has in the media center of the mid-state.
 
But at least we have a quality AD that recognizes our weak media exposure and has a plan to fix it. Lol
