NCAA now allows Schools to Pay for Parents to go on OV's

I do agree that some of these school were most likely doing it under the table anyways. But, this does make it easier for schools to come to SOFL an recruit. Sometimes parents cant afford to go take visit after visit so its easier for the parents to want their child to stay home because they havent seen other campuses. That will change like Uknow said its hard to compete with those traditional schools once parents see what other schools have to offer they may be more on board with their kid leaving. Now the advantage is we will be able to get more parents down to see that Coral Gables is very nice and not what some people think is "Miami". Overall, im not too sure it will change recruiting too much because it has most likely already been going on.

UM may not get the recruits... but they will get the visits... Probably have to become like Hawaii... only allow visits for legitimate targets.

If anything, this just gives coach Richt and his staff more opportunity to meet with parents. The old saying from coach Richt's UGA days still applies: "The mommas love coach Mark Richt."
Additionally, more parents will be able to see that Miami is a beautiful campus located in a beautiful town (not a dump like those schools on the north side of the state) and the classes are smaller and better suited for student athletes. Our recruiting will be fine.

U make a good point there... Shaq going to school at UGA never crossed my mind once... until after the visit... Mark Richt just about had us sold... With the aide of beautiful SOFL that might have helped him close the deal.

Thanks, I was hoping to hear your perspective on Richt's manner with parents. Everything I've always heard was that he was the best in the SEC at recruiting parents.
 
This dramatically helps miami. How many times do
We hear a kid loving a visit here and then some sec redneck plants the idea in the external parents heads that miami is dangerous to live rather than a beautiful private university in lush coral gables.

This includes parents even in central and north Florida etc.
Awesome ruling so the parents can see for themselves all the garbage that has been planted before
Is
Untrue.

Completely agreed. Coral Gables is NOT Miami. Recruits all love the beach, which is great, but parents will love the Gables. ONe day on campus at UM completely dispels those myths that UM is a dangerous place.
