Tyler Summitt said the Nashville bid for a WNBA expansion team, named the Tennessee Summitt, is the "perfect way" to honor Pat Summitt's legacy.

Nashville's bid to join the WNBA features a star-filled investor group including Candace Parker, Peyton Manning and entertainers Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. The team would be named in honor of the late Pat Summitt.

Former Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam and his wife Crissy Haslam submitted an expansion bid to bring the "Tennessee Summitt" to the WNBA.
