Was just informed by a lifelong friend of mine who works at 247 that Dyer has chosen and been granted a transfer to UT. I'm unsure as to how he came across this information or of its legitimacy. But just figured I'd let y'all know of the rumors round the 247 neighborhood.

If true, what are your thoughts?

what you are suggesting is absolutely illegal. The recruit who you said wasn't able to afford the goods in the first place could be forced to repay the value to restore his eligibility. It's an idiotic idea

I'm just "Joe Q. Fan" sitting in the corner end zone with no affiliation with the university other than being a lifetime fan...I'm not Bruce Pearl. Your rationale would exclude anyone from giving the kid anything. I've done my homework PJ.

Extra Benefit: An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or an athletics representative to provide a prospect or a student-athlete (or the prospect or student-athlete's relatives or friends) with a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. The following are examples of extra benefits:

Giving cash or loans in any amount.
Signing or co-signing a note with an outside agency to arrange a loan.
Employing relatives or friends of a student-athlete.
Giving gifts of any kind (e.g., birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day) or free services (e.g., clothing, airline tickets, laundry, car repair, haircuts, meals in restaurants).
Providing special discounts for goods or services.
Providing use of an automobile.
Providing a meal other than in your home on special infrequent occasions (e.g., Thanksgiving, birthday).
Providing use of your summer home to go water skiing, hunting, etc.
Providing transportation for any purpose.
Providing rent-free or reduced-rent housing.
Providing a benefit connected with on- or off-campus housing (e.g., television set, stereo equipment).
Providing tickets to an athletic, institutional or community event.
Providing a guarantee of a bond.
Providing promise of financial aid for postgraduate education.
Promising employment after college graduation.

Athletics representative= an individual identified as a representative of an institutions athletics interests= NCAA definition of booster which you clearly are one (Role of Boosters - NCAA.org). Which means your shirt thing would fall right under the following

Giving gifts of any kind (e.g., birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day) or free services (e.g., clothing, airline tickets, laundry, car repair, haircuts, meals in restaurants).

Then do some homework on who they consider a booster. You can't be this clueless

Here's your sign brother. Since none of this applies to me or most every day fans. Apology accepted. :hi:

Representatives of Athletics Interests: An individual, independent agency, corporate entity or any organization who is known (or who should have been known) by a member institution's executive or athletics administration to:

(a) Have participated in or to be a member of an agency or organization promoting the institution's intercollegiate athletics program;

(b) Have made financial contributions to the athletic department or to an athletics booster organization of that institution;

(c) Be assisting or to have been requested (by the athletic department staff) to assist in the recruitment of prospects;

(d) Be assisting or to have assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families; or

(e) Have been involved otherwise in promoting the institution's athletics program.

Once an individual is identified as such a representative, the person retains that identity indefinitely.

We've been hearing this rumor for awhile but its always been shot down. Friend of mine from Memphis is a family friend and told me Dyer has truly turned his life around. He said the brotha stopped hanging around his old crowd and has surrounded himself with positive people. He said everything he does has been positive. If this is the case I see no reason why we shouldn't give him that one last chance to redeem himself with the stipulation of one strike and you're out. It would make a good college story to have him come to TN and make noise behind out OLine. But I doubt it.

Of course I have. Are you saying I can send AJ McCarron some Alabama gear and it will cause their program to sink since I attended UT at Alabama? C'mon man! Please read post above thouroughly.

Please admit you are trolling. Please

This is actually one of the easiest rules to understand
