White: Contract talks with Tony Vitello started months ago

Danny White is a busy man. He just launched a massive fundraising campaign that aims to renovate several facilities around campus, and has a looming contract extension to iron out with baseball coach Tony Vitello. Of course, that comes after Tennessee finishes a potentially special run in the NCAA Tournament.

After that ends, Vitello is going to get paid. White’s job is to make sure that Tennessee is the one paying him over the next several seasons and hopefully beyond. White addressed the situation this week.

“Really excited about the success of our baseball program, what Tony’s doing here,” White told reporters on Wednesday.
