This is not a cost factor I would care to monitor closely. Winners don't go with the low bid. Our coaches have to go where and when they think it will do the most good - and it is a year round activity. Signees are often reported to say they signed with the coach that was there early and often. Lincoln airport security reported that Tom Osborn was the most frequent flyer when he was coach - far more often than Solich. It was reported that Doc Sadler went to Australia to
keep Maric on the NU
MBB team. A good investment - I'm not sure which column the bean counters put that in.
