Danny White is embracing the opportunity Tennessee is giving him to rebuild a Power 5 program, and not even the prospect of potential NCAA punishment deterred him from taking the athletic director job.
"I've never worked at the big brand place until now, and I actually like the fact that the brand needs to be polished a little bit, needs to be elevated back to where it was just not too long ago," White said at his introductory news conference Friday.
Tennessee hired White, 41, Thursday as its fourth different athletic director since Dave Hart took over in September 2011.
