Logistics
Air travel:


 * indiana.edu says nearest airport is IND
 * $32 per direction, airport->indiana.edu (link probably requires form resubmission)
 * Much availability, it seems. Duration: 1h40m.
 * 3PM arrival flights, and then we'd catch a 4:40 PM shuttle: (note that Asheesh can't get into IND any sooner than that if he departs on Fri )
 * SFO http://www.kayak.com/flights/SFO-IND/2013-09-20/f0cadb42dbe28f891ee2f99f8118dcf96
 * BOS http://www.kayak.com/flights/BOS-IND/2013-09-20/f0c6d0d996677979f1bc686ce46351034
 * We can find co-arrivals at 11AM-12PM, if Asheesh is willing to depart at 12:15am from SFO presumably arrive IND sleepy.
 * purdue.edu says nearest airport is Purdue University Airport, but also covers ground transport
 * is a 1.5h $27 shuttle from IND airport to Purdue campus
 * chicago.edu: is a $70, 2h20min one-way from Purdue to Chicago MDW (maybe we can do better)
 * UMN morris: [Can get from Chicago to Minnesota by a few ways for $25-100 per head one-way.
 * Then take a shuttle to Morris.
 * Shuttle worst-case $70/head 4h ride
 * Back to Minneapolis, $70/head
 * Fly back to BOS/SFO from MSP
 * These flights are fairly unconstrained

Ground travel:


 * Renting a car is at least $31/day which is ~$850, so that's the price to beat.
 * Sum of the above is ~$319/head, 2x of which is $638. The more expensive legs might be best done with a car, but then again maybe not if I can laptop in the shuttle (-:
