Actually, as long as it's not a booster or anyone affiliated with the university, I think it's ok. It's a wonder there aren't a lot of people who would otherwise be boosters that just sit it out so they can give money to recruits to steer them in the "right" direction (from their perspective). But then again, there probably are a lot of people like that. I could be wrong on this one, but I think I'm right.

Like giving out punishment the 'AA decides who they want to hammer about benefits. Floyd was suspended 4 games(reduced to 2) for his HS raising money so he could attend camps and visits but SC and Aub had players get 2 to 6 games for free hotel rooms, rental cars and airline tickets. Many Fl counties now just send many of their kids on a bus tour to offset the cost and keep the 'AA from looking into the kids and family.

I have a problem with it being "illegal" to help a kid better his life. While I do not want UF to win shat, suspending that boy (Floyd) for getting help from his HS is ludacris :) . This whole system is broken IMO. It benefits those who have benefits. It hinders those who have previous hinderances. Go figure. I will happily help anyone who wants to visit UT.

That covers official visits (which is common knowledge.) What about unofficials?

Pretty much the opposite. Pay your way here. Pay for your meals. Pay for a place to stay. You can go to the school as many times as you want if you have the $.

Problem is most players don't have the money. I remember Arnett talking about sleeping in the car and his brother bringing a cooler with drinks and sandwiches. If they want to get here , they can usually find a way. Just don't expect to be treated like a king.

I'm pretty sure this ND unofficial visit is Alexander's first out of state visit to a college like this. I could be wrong. The Rivals article written about Alexander today hinted that this was a first time thing for him.

I also think it is interesting that he didn't make a trip to UT while he was "committed". But, at that point in his recruitment he might have had other things to do.

Anyway, in the new article, Alexander named about 15 or 20 schools that he was seriously considering and UT wasn't included. So I wouldn't hold my breath about anything happening between UT and Alexander.

:unsure:

That's so stupid. He goes from being "sure" that is where he is going to play, to bouncing 15-20 schools ahead of UT? I'm mad bro.

I just re-read the article. It was actually 13 schools that were listed that Alexander is considering, but it wasn't a direct quote by Alexander. It was written by ND's Rivals.com site so I would take it lightly.

But I know exactly what you mean. I find it very odd that he never visited the team he was committed to and that he now has (it seems) zero interest in the Vols anymore.

I'm not sure that list came from Mack himself. Seems like the writer just copied schools from his profile.

Maybe our coaches can get him to stop in on his way back down. Let's hope so. Seems like the McQuay trip up North worked out like that a couple months ago, not that I'm suggesting we're in it for McQuay really.

Still looking for the M-O-N-E-Y. Said it two months ago and will continue to say it.

We need to forget this guy. Not worth all the drama.

You are probably not that far off given this area's history in high school football.

Not sure why everyone is slamming you for implying this, but for those who have lived down there like me (SW Florida) this stuff is an open secret.
