UCONN Doesn’t Have a Plane to Get to Phoenix (Merged Thread)

It says the NCAA handles all travel.

Have a contingency, UConn shouldn't be showing up two days later than other teams and barely making or missing the media session. UConn shouldn't have their hotel rooms filled with vomit and feces and have their stuff stolen. Whether we're getting intentionally boned by the NCAA or not this stuff happens to UConn, plan for the bulls^^^. UConn placed a bid and chartered Air Kraft for last year's final 4. Figure out all the weather for the week and make sure you have a plane ready to be flown, bill the NCAA.

Does anybody else have to do this? Is this common practice? This seems like just finding a reason to blame UConn

It’s the weather

This happens to everyone

No, you plan accordingly. If the weather was looking bad for tonight, the NCAA should've flew them down yesterday. There's no reason for the team to take a red eye to Phoenix and then also deal with jet lag - not to mention missing valuable practice time. This is supposed to be a trip of a lifetime for these kids. The NCAA needs to make sure that the travel is handled appropriately.

Planning ahead is usually smart but do you really think they should have booked a backup plane in case the one they were scheduled for had mechanical problems? Let’s be a little realistic here
 
Absolutely unreal… why aren’t they on a charter already? As soon as this happens, you ring it up. It’s unconscionable.

Yes. It’s the freaking Final Four. There should be backup plans in place and the NCAA clearly dropped the ball here. Why on earth was the plane not at Bradley yesterday?
