Message: [QUOTE="texascpa, post: 283982, member: 468"] Not as much as Rutgers. Charter buses run about $1500/day. How many does the football team need? let's say 2. For a chartered plane, it costs somewhere between $4K to $10K plus overnight charges of about $1K. Plane sizes will probably vary depending on the team and many teams, like tennis, probably won't charter, they'll fly commercial. So, high end $11K - $3K = $8K in additional cost for one away football game. Multiply that by 4 and that's an additional $32K for the football team. Now, let's say with all of our other teams, there are 100 additional away trips (I'm guesstimating here) that need to use a plane rather than a bus. Knowing that many teams won't use two buses, but many will use smaller planes (or commercial flights), let's call that difference a wash. So, $32,000 + (8,000 x 100) = $832,000 that's my guess and I'm sticking with it. [/QUOTE]
