## Resource

SEC power struggle dominates headlines as conference spring meetings kick off in Destin. Can Commissioner Greg Sankey recover after being outmaneuvered by the Big Ten on College Football Playoff expansion, or is the SEC risking self-sabotage with its new nine-game schedule? The playoff debate heats up: 12 teams not enough, 24 too many—where will the stalemate end, and how will ESPN’s resistance shape the future? Eric Cain analyzes Tennessee Volunteers’ crucial path in the Chapel Hill Regional, spotlighting tough matchups against North Carolina, East Carolina and VCU in a pitching-heavy bracket. Get insider perspective on the Vols’ thin margin for error, key player updates—including Landon Mack and Reese Chapman’s potential return—and prospects for advancing. Plus, Eric Cain fields pressing mailbag questions on Tennessee’s recruiting battles, NIL strategy, and favorite war movies, all while keeping the focus sharp on the SEC’s most pivotal week of the year.
