rising travel costs of college sports (SIU)

[goindystate]

went over to the SIU board and this link was posted about their increased travel costs. Makes me wonder how much flying ISU does as opposed to driving to meets/games/matches, etc...

With what they pay Lowery he should be footing the transportation bill........

indiana state travel

when i worked in the indiana state athletic department, we drove to just about every game -- be it on turner buses, the athletic department mini-bus, in school vans, or on a first national bank motor home.

we drove so much one football season -- drving to oklahoma state was a load, especially the straight drive back after the game -- that one former assistant coach joked that it was a good thing we didn't play games in hawaii.

during my days at isu, we drove 95 percent of the time, whether it was in football or baseball.
