If applicable to your Institution/State travel regulations -Could anyone share with me how your University handles Athletic Team Travel - specifically, for lodging and meals for coaches/employees vs. student team members: do you split these expenses between employees and student team members for employee TIGA (Transparency in Government Act) reporting or do you post all expenses together as 'team travel' and not report to TIGA for the employee/non-employee & per expense type portion?       
Example:
Coach Smith incurred $157.50 for meals and $350.00 lodging for a 3-day travel for a team game.
Coach Jones incurred $157.50 for meals and $350.00 for lodging for the same trip.
The Student team meals totaled $ 787.50 and $750.00 lodging for the same trip. Do you report to TIGA the employee coach's meals and lodging, or do you not report it to TIGA and code the one lump sum ($2552.50) to 'Team Travel'?
Also, a similar question for coaches recruiting - Do you code and report the individual coaches recruiting travel expenses to TIGA per expense type or do you not report to TIGA and code as one lump sum to 'Recruiting/ Athletics'?
TIGA may only be a Georgia/University System of Georgia thing(?)
Thank you for any information.

This looks to be a State of Georgia requirement, not a national one. From my very quick review, I would think that they are looking for travel data for individual travel, not team travel. So any individual expenses incurred during team travel would roll up under the lump sum for that trip and not be reported to TIGA. Not an expert of course! 🙂 Have you reached out to UGA or GA Tech to get their feedback?
