Gators find cheap flights

The cost for Florida to send two extra airplanes to Kentucky for the Gators’ 41-7 win in late September had a minimal impact on its budget at a cost of $4,055 for the trip to Lexington and back.
UF charters a plane for coach road trip to normally carry the entire team. But illness of several players and fear of a flu bug spreading to the rest of the team resulted in the Gators isolating some of them - including star quarterback Tim Tebow.
The cost was kept to a minimum, however, since the University Athletic Association owns and operates the two extra planes used: a King Air and Citation. The only extra expense was for fuel.
The money came out of the UAA’s budget and did not involve any use of tax dollars or school funds. The total football team travel budget for 09-10 fiscal year is $871,000.

I can’t believe that this is all the Trib can find to write about the Gators. It’s like you put writers in charge of this blog who hate UF. So, while you “investigative” journalists are looking into “Plane-Gate,” did you also investigate how much money the football team pumps into the university? Didn’t think so. I think I’ll stick to the St. Pete Times.
