Tennessee Volunteers 2021: News, Schedule, Roster, Scores, Injury Report

The Tennessee Volunteers compete in NCAA Men's Basketball as a part of the Southeastern Conference. Florida, LSU, and Kentucky are some notable teams from their conference. They were founded in 1908.

The university got its nickname from the State of Tennessee, which is called the Volunteer State, as they had helped out on multiple occasions during wars in the 1800s. They are also called the Vols.

Since their first logo was launched back in 1967, the Volunteers have had a simple orange-colored letter T as their logo. There was a 13-year period from 1983 to 1996 where the logo was changed to a man with a gun but it was reverted to the original in 1997.
