You think it's likely a UT booster funded kings trip?

That stuff doesn't happen without the coaches knowledge. I have a hard time believing CCM would give it the OK.

No, I was being sarcastic. Not every post is commentary on a specific topic.

By definition, an alum who gives money is a booster.

Not technically, you have to have some other form of contact with the university, as well as BE KNOWN BY THE INSTITUTION, to be considered a booster(according to NCAA definition).

So, someone who is an alum, and has no other connection with the university that hands a kid a couple hundred bucks, isnt a booster according to the NCAA.

......

The NCAA broadly defines a "booster" as an individual, agency, entity or organization who is known by an institution to:

Have participated in or been a member of an agency that promotes the institution's intercollegiate athletics program

Have made financial contributions to the athletics department or a booster organization for the department

Have been involved otherwise in promoting the institution's athletics program

Have been a season ticket holder

Have provided benefits to student-athletes or their relatives or friends

I stand by what I said. If the NCAA caught an Alum giving cash to high school guys to take trips to campus they would be labeled boosters.

Are you a barber by trade? You split hairs finer than anyone I think I have ever run across.

Anybody that gets on here and argues that an allum that gives a recruit money to travel for an unofficial visit isnt a booster is beyond help. Don't just argue for the sake of arguing!

I really am not familiar with it, which is why I looked it up, just relaying what the NCAA says.

Bottom line is King and his Family were on UT campus. If I were Pastner I would be a bit concerned.

On another note Markel Crawford suffered and acl injury to his knee. Will be out til Jan 2013. Wonder how this will affect his recruitment?

Lol. I don't actually think that's what happened. But in basketball recruiting, who knows.

You honestly believe the King Family financed this unofficial road trip?

Acting like its an absolutely definite funded trip, and not out of his own pocket because he's legitimately interested, is a bit ridiculous.

I doubt that you know what happened and if you don't know, maybe you should keep your speculations to yourself. Seems as if you want to guess about many things. I would prefer posters post information which is fact rather than assumptions with no facts.

Are you referring to me, or the guy I quoted. I'm essentially saying the exact same thing you did, I haven't speculated as to anything happening, that was the poster I quoted which is why I said something.

He is speculating that a UT booster funded nick kings trip, not me. I haven't speculated about jack $h!t.

Yeah, it isn't like they hopped a jet from Europe. What would it cost 2-3 tanks of gas? I understand the school can comp a meal while they are on campus, so maybe they stop at Arby's on the way to and from. Kids make visits like this all the time, kids who aren't going on athletics scholarships but who are just looking at schools, period.

Maybe this guy is just projecting from his knowledge of Menphis recruiting practices.

Yeah, $100 trip max, not exactly a huge deal to go spend a day at a university you're interested in.

As Zans also mentioned, it's possible they were making a trip this way anyways and just stopped by. To ask, do you really think king funded the trip, is a bit ridiculous.

So $100 would cover a drive from Memphis to Knoxville round trip?

400 miles each way, that equals 800 miles. Typical family automobile getting 30mpg would take 27 gallons total. Gas is around $3.20, so you multiply 27 gallons by $3.20 and what do you get.....

$86!!!!

So yes, to answer your question, $100 would cover a round trip drive from Memphis o Knoxville. Any other questions???

Well I'm sure they ate in knoxville which is paid for by the university, especially since that's where CCM was spotted with king, a restaurant.

You asked if they could make it round trip on $100, it's quite obvious they could, sorry you're point failed.
