FB reporting Salter Family needs help bc of COVID.

[VolDC]

Not yet. Hopefully soon.

Sounds like a Church Prayer List needs to happen from a few of us.

 

[Orange defense]

I'm far from emotional but yalls support is going to bring out tears. Impressive display.

We all may disagree, argue, and fight each other here but when it comes to our football, family, our players we are going to come together to defend for these things. We won’t let an outsider get away for anything bad against these items. I’ve witnessed that over the years. We are vfl’s

if you donate don't say anything about UT
Or Go Vols

Too late. Have you read some of the comments on the gofundme page

 

[saltfanclub]

This is what the vfl family does. Help each other if we can. That is why I’m a vol fan, it’s family here and abroad.

We just might have to sit on the other side next time.

They need to change the cover photo

Up to $21k in 2 hrs. Pretty amazing. Hopefully it will relieve some stress on the family during this terrible time.

NCAA rules force star QB to shut down GoFundMe campaign meant to support coronavirus victims

UPDATE: The NCAA reached out to Clemson to say it would allow school discretion on charitable giving during the coronavirus outbreak, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports. That would give the university the opportunity to greenlight Lawrence’s GoFundMe page.

The update actually sounds hopeful, though....

I posted the same thing early this morning and the post was removed.

I’m sure the ncaa is against this because fans are acting like compassionate human beings helping out a family in a terrible situation. NCAA can’t have that going on

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

The ncaa is awful

This is interesting. They hammered them because TL was apparently campaigning for it. So if Salter doesn’t link or acknowledge it directly, it might just be fine.

 

[Hunerwadel]

Effing NCAA should be encouraging this instead of trying to ban it.

 

[HoptownVol]

Done, thanks.

 

[Volbackhomefromtx]

I have donated to other families having UT connections before. Most of them were Vol fans like me. I do it for the sake of wanting to help one of our extended Vol family in need, football player or not. I am worried that the NCAA would see this is as inequitable treatment not available for other UT students which, if true, is the wrong answer. From my perspective and I think is true of many others on here, if one substituted a story about an UT student not associated with the athletic program, I would still have contributed.

 

[ACvol3]

Yeah was just thinking about how does the NCAA look at this? I know this is a very unusual situation, but just logically going through the thought process.

Yeah so why couldn’t we do this with whatever high profile recruit we were after to help recruit... hmm

 

[Steve_Smith89]

Man I love volnation. You guys are amazing

 

[saltfanclub]

Got with operations and the way they made it sound was that UT coaches, staff, etc couldn't donate. Compliance is on it and will make recommendations on any necessary changes to avoid issues. If they try to shut it down then we should send the NCAA the hospital bills. ICU for over a week won't be cheap. I can add that UT has been wonderful during all of this. Also the Gofundme was started by one of the children. Mistee woke up to see how amazing people can be.

 

[kckempf]

Not to discourage anybody, but be wary of whether the NCAA will consider this an impermissible benefit. NCAA reached some sort of deal with Trevor Lawrence over starting a GoFundMe for somebody else. I would be they are more of a stick in the mud for a fundraiser for a player's father.

[CA_Vol]

Donated. If you can, please do as well.

 

[Batman1948]

Thank you all. a little side note is that Ken was battling Pneumonia and Covid at the same time. He already beat the pneumonia but Covid is messing with his oxygen. Tennessee compliance has helped all along and just seeing Tennessee nation blow by the goal makes EVERYONE know that Kaidon made the best decision in choosing to be a VOL. Once again thank you for sharing and thank you for anyone that donated and/or shared the post.

Once a Vol, always a Vol and there's nothing like it. Prayers sent for Ken and the family. I lost one of my best friends to Covid in December. Hopefully, Ken has a great recovery and gets to watch his son ball out for the next four years.

 

[Hunerwadel]

bump

 

[posivol]

fortunatly the cares act will cover all hospital bills related to covid-19.this family definitly needs help w/ lodging and regular bills while in the hospital..prayers for you guys for a full speedy recovery.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Right/good thing to do. Also a 100% chance UT gets reported for this.
