Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4264023, member: 591"] Travel is all determined by the NCAA for the tournament. Back in 2000, when Rutgers won the Portland Regional, the team they defeated, Georgia, was charted home to Athens by the NCAA in spite of losing, while Rutgers had to fly commercial to Newark. The coaching staff (including Viv) were on our flight, however the team was on a different one. Led to the saying "NCAA = no charter airline available". Details have changed since then, but the concept of when you will be where and how you get there are still, for the tourney, under the NCAA's control. Actually, throughout the season, the NCAA rules control when you can arrive, how long you can stay, and all that for away games and such. However, they have less of a say in the details of where you stay and how you travel, although I believe they operate the travel agency teams use. [/QUOTE]
