what exactly are coaches suppose to pay for? Because I heard that they could pay for air fare but I am not sure. I know that they pay for dinner and give you a place to stay! any help would be appreciated

They paid our son's airfare, but we had to pay our own way. They put us up in a room and paid for all our meals while we were with the prospects and coaches. We had to rent our own car.
Some schools will only pick the players tab for the visit--if the parents tag along they are on their own
Accomodations, meal with coach, football tickets...paid for. Airfare, rental car, meals without coach...on own. Attending Official Visit with son...priceless.
Excerpt from the NCAA guidelines link:
"Room and meals (three per day)for you and your parents while you are visiting the college..."
The coaches' presence is irrelevant to meal reimbursement.
That illustrates why I posted the link, itself.

What I am saying is not all schools do that just as not all schools fund 11.7 scholarships even though that is the max allowed.
Just make sure you know what they are offering you for the visit

A couple of thoughts.
1- Ask the coaching staff, they will let you know specifically what they will do.
2- On my son's visit we drove to the school and they paid us for our mileage. It worked out better than paying for our flights (Mom & Dad) and than renting a car on top of it.
3- All our meals were with coaching staff and paid for.
The experience for our son was great and also gave us a comfort level with his final choice. I would encourage going on visit with Son if possible.

I don't know anyone who ever went on an official visit with their child and was not accomodated with lodging and meals.
I am assuming a school would not cover parents expenses because they just don't have it in their budget? For me this might be a warning sign coach is on a strict budget. JMO
However I think the poster may be a player and is asking for , not parents.
Answer is they pay for your transportation, lodging and meals. At one school, teh players had their own hotel rooms! Not on the same floor as ours .
Prepster has directed you to the right place.
