swprof,

1, Maybe. You need to ask. Few D3s can afford to fly a recruit for an OV.

2. If you are paying for most of his college tuition, you need to go. Would you buy an expensive house without seeing it first, or buy an expensive car? It would come across as smart to me. It is appropriate for you to meet the coaches.

3. While your son is visiting his OV, you should try to make an appt with the Financial Aid office. Plan your flight or logistics around your meeting with FA.

4. I wouldn’t write “dream school” off yet, but I think it would be wise to pursue other opportunities and focus on those “schools that have shown your son the love.” We had a number of schools get back to us after they had gone dark, and we were so glad we had moved on. Hope for the best and plan for the worst.

Good luck!
