One of the most important aspects of a bowl game for a young college football player is having his family there to see it, or so Urban Meyer and Ohio State believe.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Meyer has been pushing for the NCAA to provide more money for the travel arrangements for football players' families. The NCAA currently allows schools to grant $800 per player from their student assistance fund to assist in travel.

But $800 is not going to get a pair of parents, or a brother, or a sister, or all of the above to Dallas with comfortable accommodations.

"Are we going to get their families to Dallas?" Meyer told the Plain Dealer. "We should. That should happen immediately, that there should be an immediate committee meeting somewhere.

"Let's get them to Dallas and watch their sons play in college football history. And I hope you all write that. That's more important than anything else being said today."

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith took to Twitter to back up his football coach.

Alabama coach Nick Saban, whose team lost to Meyer's in the Sugar Bowl, is among other coaches who have publicly endorsed such an idea. Under the new Power Five governance model, to go into effect for the next football season, it should be easier for the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC to pass rules allowing for larger travel allotments.

Certain Buckeyes players' parents have also been vocal on Twitter about the seemingly small travel allowances. One mother noted that the NCAA would not need to spend any money whatsoever and would just need to allow individual schools to spend the money.

"How do these players who played their hearts out for the Ohio State University, for the Big Ten Conference and for college football," Meyer said. "Let's get their families there so they can watch them play."
