Colleges now able to pay for parents on recruiting trips

[Drew]

Big development here. I think this is good for us especially if we're recruiting from areas in the South/Midwest that are further away

Good for schools that can afford it. Money is now a driver of recruiting and athletic success as much as coaching, academics, and facilities.

Is a 4/5 star kid going to a school that doesn't treat mama to a first class visit? Unlikely.

Honestly, I thought they already did. I was more surprised that they didn't already

The Sun Belt Conference was the only one to vote against this.

This will definitely stretch the divide between the haves and have not's. The cost of bringing in a recruit in goes up 66%. No problem for the Michigan's and Alabama's.
Just a thought as we have been getting frequent donation e-mails and not being in the best of times, maybe we may be able to donate unused free air miles.

Slippery slope. "Well their car broke down mysteriously before the trip so we purchased them a very sensible mercedes to make the drive."
