KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — After years of record giving to the University of Tennessee athletic department that helped fuel new building projects, donations and the number of people who gave to the department fell by more than 25 percent last year.

The Knoxville News Sentinel reports (http://bit.ly/11zeomz ) that the $10 million drop in donations followed coaching shake-ups and poor performance on the football field. In the last two years, UT has lost or fired head coaches in football, men's basketball, women's basketball and baseball.

The biggest drop came in capital gifts, which dropped by half last year to $8.5 million.

Chris Fuller, UT's senior associate athletic director for external operations, said the department has not met standards in recent years and some donors and fans vote with their wallets.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — One streak has to end Sunday when Tennessee plays at South Carolina in a matchup of struggling Southeastern Conference teams.

Tennessee (11-10, 3-6 SEC) hasn't won a true road game all season, but South Carolina (12-10, 2-7) has lost 11 straight meetings in this series.

South Carolina hasn't beaten Tennessee since an 81-64 victory in Columbia on Feb. 17, 2007. This represents Tennessee's longest active winning streak and South Carolina's longest active losing streak against an SEC opponent.

If South Carolina falls to Tennessee for a 12th straight time Sunday, it would match the Gamecocks' longest losing streak against an SEC opponent since joining the league in 1991-92. Kentucky won 12 straight over South Carolina from 1998-2002.

Tennessee is 0-6 in true road games this year.
