Stanford probably pays the airline directly from a bank account and everyone splits the cost savings of not having to deal with transaction fees and the margin required to subsidize a loyalty program.  I thought Stanford had one air travel vendor for all the ACC travel, no?  Or does each team book their own charters?

I'm pretty sure that most teams other than football, MBB, and WBB are not taking charter flights...

And I have worked for companies that did central billing on flights and used my frequent flyer number so I got the miles.  One employer tried to keep the miles and employees said fine, we'll only travel M-F during normal business hours, the policy changed.  Of course even if the players got the 25k-30k frequent flyer miles a year they are probably on more than one airline so its not like they will be getting many free trips (maybe they can upgrade class of service on a flight or two a year).....
