Parents going to Tampa final four...on NCAA dime?

[Blakeon18]

On Mike and Mike on Friday morning they mentioned that the NCAA is paying for travel expenses
for the parents of the Oregon and Ohio State players. Greenie made a quick comment that the NCAA
was going to do the same for the men and women on the hoop side for the final 4 [in Tampa].

Assuming this is true....and assuming our beloved make it...that would be great news for our great parents.
Airfare/hotel...from California/Nevada/Iowa/Illinois/Texas/Arizona among other places.

Obvious question : will the NCAA do the same for all collegiate sports...both genders?

NCAA has always been an organization with a big heart, always with the student/athletes and their families their first concern.

With the $ the Big 5 conferences are now making off TV they could easily deal with the NCAA slicing the cash cow into the pieces you mentioned. But, History shows GREED is a more powerful motive than doing what is right when it comes to the NCAA.

Sad, but true. So much for the NCAA being a "non-profit" organization.
