With only 16 days left until college football returns, let’s remember Peyton Manning from Tennessee who wore #16.

University of Tennessee from 1994-1997

• 1997 Maxwell Award
• 1997 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award
• 1997 Davey O'Brien Award
• 1997 William V. Campbell Trophy
• 1997 SEC Player of the Year
• 1997 Consensus All-American
• 1997 First-team All-SEC
• 1996 Second-team All-SEC
• University of Tennessee Athletics Hall of Fame
• Tennessee Volunteers No. 16 retired

Among the penalties handed down, Tennessee has been placed on five years' probation, was given an $8 million fine among other financial penalties that will push the total closer to $9 million, and will see a total reduction of 28 scholarships.

The $8 million fine, which the NCAA said was "equivalent to the financial impact the school would have faced if it missed the postseason during the 2023 and 2024 seasons," is believed to be the largest ever levied in an infractions case.

The NCAA will require Tennessee to vacate all wins and individual records in any game in which 16 individual sanctioned players participated. The specific games will be announced later, but sources told ESPN that any wins that are vacated would come from Pruitt's three seasons as coach and not from the past two seasons under Josh Heupel.
