Colorful Tennessee Vols booster Roy Adams dies
Posted Jul 24, 2015
Colorful University of Tennessee booster Roy Adams, known for throwing elaborate college football watch parties at his East Memphis home and occasional run-ins with the NCAA, died Wednesday morning at St. Francis Hospital. Adams was 77. A 1963 Tennessee graduate, Adams was a retired restaurant owner and real estate developer who parlayed his passion for college football — cultivated during his time in Knoxville as a student — into the legendary watch parties.
