Robbie Earlene Brooks Nutt is not herself a UT alum, but her three children and her husband (Dr. Ron Nutt) all are. Originally from Ooltewah, Tennessee, Robbie Nutt’s first involvement with UT was going to football games, but she found her passion when she began attending Lady Vol Basketball games. Nutt endowed a basketball scholarship and in 2007 made a gift of $1 million to the new basketball practice facility, in recognition of which the Lady Vols Locker Room was named for her.
