The University of Tennessee is going to host an All-American Football League team at historic 80-year-old Neyland Stadium starting in April 2007, which will feature several former UT players who have obtained their degrees, and which will be owned by Vol boosters. Former Tennessee Head Coach and Athletics Director Doug Dickey is on the AAFL Board of Directors, along with former Southeastern Conference Commissioner Harvey Schiller and former Vol Charles Davis, now a TV commentator, and brokered the deal with current UT AD Mike Hamilton for Neyland Stadium to be a host venue for the league, which will begin play once UT finishes spring practice, just after the Orange & White Game.

This spring league that is being promoted by former NCAA President Cedric Dempsey and will be exclusively for players who have completed a 4-year college degree. Players who may be on the roster for 2007 include Casey Clausen, Andre Lott, Travis Stephens, and Michael Munoz, and others from other SEC teams.
