In a case of "the NCAA does something right," they've changed the recruiting rules a bit to make the situations better for families.
How many times have you read recruiting coverage where the reporter mentions how much the prospects' mother or father or legal guardian will have an impact on their recruiting. If a player wanted that family member to come along on an official visit to a school, then the parent/guardian had to fund their own way.
Today, that has changed. The NCAA has decided that it will allow for schools to pay for the travel of a recruit and up to two family members on official recruiting visits.
