I kind of think this will be something where the players limit themselves. Yeah, there may be some that go on more than 5 visits. But from what we all hear....the recruiting process (for players) is arduous already. I can't see some kid and his family wanting to pack up and go on 10-15-20 visits. So my guess is....most kids will keep their visits in the single digits.

What’s the difference between an official and an unofficial visit?  I’ve seen both.

Official visits are on the school's dime.

And I think the opposite.   Players today, and their families, like to be wined and dined.  If a school, any school, is going to foot the bill to bring them in, give them a swag bag, take pictures in a uniform sitting in a barbers chair, they are going to soak it all up.  
 

Players no longer have to be selective.

Don't kid yourself; this was at the request of P5 schools. When you have budgets like Ohio State, Alabama, A&M, Texas, etc., you can afford to "wine and dine" more players. I would guess this will hurt G5 schools when players who could be immediate impacts there versus being a fringe P5 contributor can be shown the "big time." This will put a financial strain on smaller-budget schools and continue to widen the gap — another step in the professionalization of college sports.
