Fucking coach: A lot of colleges use private airplanes.

Once considered a business deluxe, private aircraft are becoming more and more popular at US academies and colleges as governments try to draw athletics, increase funds and award trainers with jet-set holidays. A few are spending billions of US dollar a year to fly their trainers and managers around the nation, and some are passing the cost on to college kids and tax payers.

Associated Press demanded documentation from tens of government colleges and found that at least 20 have their own or shared airplanes for the education market and often employ some full-time pilot to pilot them. Lots of others are chartering private air travel through external carriers. Audit trails show that the aeroplanes are temporarily used for nonuniversity use.

Ohio State Unversity, which rents one plane and sometimes has another, soccer trainer Urban Meyer and members of his familiy made 11 face-to-face journeys last year, among them a Florida holiday, a Cape Cod week-end trip and a South Carolina summer holiday. Cost of the university: $120,000.

If Meyers 15 recruitment journeys in the same aircraft during this time are added, the cost rises to more than 350,000 dollars. Several private universities, which are not governed by open record legislation, also have their own aircraft. Universities are defending the cost and saying that trainers and top admins need to move more than ever, while airline companies offer fewer departures.

"Student pay for it or tax payers pay for it, and it's usually the students," said Richard Vedder, an economist and executive director of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity in Washington, D.C. Universities often use airplanes for competitive recruitment, mainly for soccer and basketball, as well as to shuttles admins traveling to advertising sponsors or lobbying legislators.

Several of the country's biggest colleges, such as the Penn State and the University of Texas, own aircraft, as do many smaller colleges, such as the University of Wyoming and the University of Central Missouri. A private plane usually costs in the million and climbs up to the $8.4 million that the University of Florida Athletics Federation in 2011 spent on an eight-passenger plane.

There are then running costs like gasoline and servicing that cost at Ohio State $1. 6 million last year. Every airline often costs more than $1,000 per incident, far more than a regular airline ticket. For example, Purdue University sent a plane to Providence, Rhode Island, last year to fetch alumni and former NFL Linesman Mattes Light to Indianapolis for an athletes session and then fly him back, at a cost of $15,000.

University of Kansas Registrar and two employees were airlifted to the NCAA Louisville, Kentucky baseball event for $10,000 last year. University of Tennessee officers routine between Knoxville and Nashville, a journey of less than three hour. "Our executives' dedication to their work is so precious that the use of the aircraft is certainly justified," said Ron Maples, Tennessee University of Tennessee Temporary Treasury Secretary.

He added that the school's annual flight expenses, about $700,000, "hardly represent an increase" in the overall household budgets. The cost of chartering a flight can also increase rapidly. Minnesota University does not own a plane, but last year invested $2.9 million in chartering it. As for some colleges, Ohio State included, say private contributions and sports revenues are paying for them.

However, at many, such as Kansas and Tennessee, they are backed by budgets involving study fees and control bucks. "Part of it is just private holidays, which is totally inappropriate for me if the taxpayer finances it. "Private air travel has also become an advantage that serves to win sought-after buses. Among other things, top trainers and their parents at the University of Oklahoma and Ohio State receive annual portions of flying lessons that can be used for holidays and other face-to-face travel.

At Ohio State, three trainers at Ohio exceeded $220,000 in face-to-face tours last year, record show, with destinations including Las Vegas and Marco Island, Florida. "It' where the store is now from a compensatory point of view," said Martin Jarmond, senior deputy sports director at Ohio State. Speaking at the University of South Florida, Lara Wade said the minutes for the airplane do not need to be approved because the airplane is in the possession of an external corporation.

The Penn State said it owned two aircraft that were used by high-ranking officers but would not make available record keeping because the schools are mostly exempted from the state's law of official disclosures. "A lot of campuses, even those within the Big Ten, have planes," said Lisa Powers, Penn State spokesperson, in a declaration. "And as some academies are adding aircraft, others are rescaling or rethinking their flying programmes.

In the last year, the U MM found out that Richard Pitino, the men's baseball trainer, had exceeded his charter flight budgets by more than $200,000 over three years. Meanwhile, the college has appointed a new sports manager, some of whose responsibilities will be to reduce the size of the team. Last year Iowa State College chairman Steven Leath, a flight attendant, confirmed that he used a training plane for travel mixing private and college operations, a practise that came to the surface after damaging the plane in a rough land.

The Iowa State has agreed to resell an aircraft and is considering whether to use another aircraft. Others say that they just have little need for private airplanes. University of California in Los Angeles sometimes charts sport team charter trips, but not for recruitment or business trips. "Buying a private plane doesn't necessarily benefit our students and athletes," said speaker Tod Tamberg.
