As hc69 points out, paying for flying is a violation of the NCAA Bylaw. In addition, Bylaw 13.6.2.8 states:

An institution shall not permit its athletics department staff members or representatives of its athletics interests to pay, provide, or arrange for the payment of transportation costs incurred by relatives, friends or legal guardian(s) of a prospect to visit the campus or elsewhere; however an institutuion may:

(a) Provide automobile-mileage reimbursement to a prospect on an official visit, even if relatives or friends accompany the prospect; however, in that event the trip shall count as an official paid visit only for each recruited prospect in the automobile; and (Revised 1/11/94)
(b) Provide local transportation between the nearest airport for the parents, relatives, or legal guardian(s) of a prospect making an official visit.

Perhaps the location of Colgate and travelling by automobile accounts for a significant amount of the recruiting expenses.

All this is dependent on comments made by a 17 or 18 year old impressionable youth. Perhaps the prospect's comments were somewhat embellished? Could there be some exaggeration in his remarks? FB at 'gate is big and it would not surprise me that 'gate out does HC in this regard.

but the majority of recruits come from the Northeast. While many fly, a lot don't because they are coming up with their parents.

Sure, we have our share of FL, GA, etc. but at heart we're a NY, PA, NJ, MA team. We know where our bread is buttered.

And I wouldn't cross any fingers that the NCAA is going to come down on Colgate recruiting violations. Take every story from a student or a parent with a grain of salt. How many of us have heard or read a story about a player getting a football scholarship at a PL school? Too many to count.
