Tennessee to self-report NCAA violation

GoVolsXtra is reporting that Tennessee will be self-reporting a minor NCAA violation involving wide receivers coach Trooper Taylor, who apparently “spoke to a group of alumni without following UT’s formal process of approval,” in violation of bylaw 11.3.2.2, which I’m guessing provides as follows:

No scholarship player, coach, or any spouse, child, parent, sibling, cousin, in-law, or neighbor thereof, shall, intentionally or inadvertently, solicit, accept, or suggest the solicitation or acceptance of, any compensation in the form of cash, donations, wages, tips, Chuck E. Cheese tokens, or custom colored crayons, in return for any act or omission directly or indirectly related to his or her relationship with any university, college, trade school, tech school, or day care. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, NCAA officials and employees shall be entitled to whatever the market demands.

Okay, then.

By the way, freshman Blake Garretson has been dismissed for an unspecified violation of team rules.
