My primary role was that of chauffer however once the visit started I would typically be introduced to the HC, PC and RC… take part in the academic portion of the visit and then made a point to excuse myself so he had plenty of private time with the coaches and players. When scholarship offers were made I would rejoin the meeting.

I share jerseydad's point of view. I was there for the academic visits but made myself scarce when son was talking to the baseball coaches about anything other than money. I think my son enjoyed having another set of ears in the room during the academic discussions. A couple of times the baseball coaches or my son wanted me in the room. When invited, I still kept my mouth shut but provided feedback during the car ride home.

In addition, I think a parents participation in un-OV is sometimes determined by distance.
