With the kinda $$$$$ being generated at all these games & the price us Fans pay to go to the games..I don't feel bad for the schools in the least bit..I'm sure they will go up on prices fans pay to cover everything..

Interesting. How long till some programs just buy their own jet planes (or plane shares with other institutions)?

Facing Charter Shortage, College Football Reconsiders the Bus?
You mean teams don't have a way to travel to play football. Don't blame me. I'm spoiled, I'm a life long Alabama Fan. Seriously... Some of the smaller Universities will feel the pinch of travel expenses, while teams like Alabama, USC, OSU, Michigan, Michigan State will coast along...

Noooooo! :eek:

Alabama will fly as long as possible. I don't see that changing any time soon. The same crew flies them everywhere they go. I'm beyond blessed to be a part of that. We didn't fly them to the Sugar Bowl vs. Ohio State. At the time several factors went into play. I thought it was horrible: I was so upset. Turned out to be the best thing. Coach Saban had a HORRIBLE experience with the carrier that took them. I never even knew he cared. He does. :cool2:

I noticed one line about "missing classes" if buses were brought back, but that didn't seem to be a problem back in the thirties and forties. I assume the classes could be adjusted as they were back then.
