2) Institutions must use commercial air transportation at coach-class airfare to transport a prospect to and from an official visit. This rule is designed to minimize expectations created by the use of private or chartered airplanes in the recruitment process.

3) Institutions must use standard vehicles to transport prospects and those accompanying them on official visits. The vehicles must be the same as those used to transport any prospective student. This measure is intended to prohibit the use of specialized vehicles, such as those with special décor of modified with televisions, which could create a sense of entitlement for prospective student-athletes.

Someone rumored that Huggins wants commercial flights into Manhattan.

There are 2 to 3 commerical flights every day into Manhattan.

Midwest Air from KC to Manhattan is the biggest f'ing joke on the planet.  I've never in my life seen a group of people so unable to do their jobs.  Last year they lost my wife's luggage twice on the same flight, then they had to divert from Manhattan to Salina because the runway lights were out in Manhattan.  I realize this isn't Midwest's fault but somehow I'm sure they were involved.

Happens all over, a good friend of mine just got some of the worst treatment I've ever heard of from Delta ... cancelled flights, hotel vouchers in cracktown, lost luggage etc. etc.

Why aren't the Midwest Express flights used?

Why aren't the Midwest Express flights used?

Because its more reliable to drive to KC than it is to fly that sorry excuse for air service.
