Tennessee chancellor calls profane chant totally unacceptable
Tennessee’s chancellor Jimmy Cheek and athletic director Dave Hart issued a joint statement expressing disgust in regards to a chant fans directed toward Florida in the final minutes of Saturday’s 10-9 loss. The chant– “(Expletive) you, Florida!”– rang throughout Neyland Stadium and was picked up on the SEC Network’s live broadcast of the game.
