I do think it is appropriate for parents to be with the student on unofficials - helpful to have two pairs of ears, making sure we are all hearing the same thing, have the parent meet the coach and see the campus, etc. However, with OVs, I would 100% agree that it is not the time or place for parents to be hanging around. The student on the OV needs to be as immersed as possible in the life and culture of being at athlete at the specific college.
However, in light of the above referenced article, perhaps this is more sport specific?
