Charter Flights has become the norm for many men's programs but even Tulsa's Women's Team gets to fly charter, which helped them pick up a few new passengers on their latest trip:

Story goes...Cincinnati's Women's team was "snowed" in Dallas after their Saturday afternoon game vs SMU as their Sat Night and Sunday AM commercial flights were cancelled.

Cinci was scheduled to host Tulsa on Monday Night so Tulsa invited Cinci's team "if you can make the 3-4 hour bus ride up to Tulsa, we will fly you with us on our charter to Cinci"...and that's exactly what happened.

Having $$$ to fly Charter is a huge recruiting tool to offer...because right now, hoop teams like UCF, almost every road game turns into a 3 day, 2 night trip when flying commercial after playing night games.
 
I don't know who Tulsa's donors are, but UCF still is looking for their Fed EX style donors. According to one reporter "in the know" that's the big knock on UCF- lack of big donor money, which translates into high student fees.
