Perhaps the Tennessee curse is over. There’s a promotional video to suggest as much.
The Vols claimed their first SEC Overall All-Sports title for the 2021-22 academic year and celebrated with a video to mark the occasion (see below). The honor is awarded by the USA Today Network. Tennessee captured the program’s first SEC Men’s All-Sports Title since 2007-08. The Vols were second, behind Florida, in the SEC Women’s All-Sports standings.
Per a release by Tennessee’s Athletic Department:
“Across the nine sports for which the SEC tracks head-to-head win/loss records (and at least 13 teams compete), Tennessee owned the league’s best intra-conference win percentage in 2021-22 at .672. The next-best winning percentage was .595 (Florida). Those nine sports are football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, soccer and volleyball.
Eight Tennessee teams (four men’s and four women’s) finished in the top 16 or advanced to at least the round of 16 in their respective NCAA Championships.
Tennessee also was one of only seven Division I programs in the country to make a football bowl game and also qualify for the NCAA Championships in men’s basketball, women’s basketball, softball and baseball (joining Arkansas, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, UCLA and Virginia Tech).
Tennessee produced a school-record 10 Academic All-Americans in 2021-22—six Lady Vols and four Vols.”
The Vols released a video to celebrate the achievement:
