You may not know, but way back in 2000 when RU won the Portland regional, an NCAA charter took Georgia (the loser) home. Rutgers had to fly commercial the next day (we were on the plane with CVS, most of her staff and one player with a family commitment, the rest had to fly later still). The reason - Georgia was expected to win, so the plane was already reserved for them, to get them home rapidly so they had time to prepare for the FF.
