Traveling with college athletics isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s a high-stakes operation that impacts academics, performance, and team morale. In this episode of From the Runway Up, Becky and Caitlin take listeners inside the world of University of Tennessee athletics travel. First, Dr. Catherine Green of Lady Vols Basketball reveals what it takes to coordinate smooth charter flights, manage NCAA tournament surprises, and keep student-athletes on schedule. Then, Andrew Goodman, Director of Football Operations, explains how moving 200+ people each week demands year-long planning, precise execution, and a steady hand when the unexpected happens.
From pizzas delivered on the runway to weather detours and bowl game charters, you’ll hear stories that prove great operations are often invisible—but absolutely essential.
