Why did a Clemson Jet go to Lansing MI today?

I've gotten into flight tracking over the summer. And have been trying to figure out reasons why official university jets are making visits. This morning Clemson's N934CT flew to Lansing MI, was on the ground for about 30 minutes and in now in route back south....probably going to land somewhere in North Carolina. Any ideas why?

Also not trying to dox anyone, so not making claims on anyone on board. Just trying to figure out what a publicly funded jet is doing.

Tennessee and Ole Miss jets landing in College Station today and yesterday..no clue why?

Over the summer I’ve taken up the hobby of plane tracking, and since I live in a college town (Athens, GA) i fell down the rabbit hole of tracking university jets.

Most of the official university travel I can figure out but these two in College Station have me stumped…

Tennessee: official UT aircraft N865UT flew Knoxville → College Station on June 19, landed at A&M’s Easterwood Field at 12:42 PM CT, stayed about 7h 14m, then returned to Knoxville.

Ole Miss: university-owned N1UM flew Oxford → College Station on June 20, landed 10:17 AM CT. In 158 prior trips, I found zero earlier College Station touches in the last year for N1UM. Raw ADS-B later shows it heading back toward Oxford.

Weird travel for Tennessee and Ole Miss jets in College Station

Over the summer I’ve taken up the hobby of plane tracking, and since I live in a college town (Athens, GA) i fell down the rabbit hole of tracking university jets.

Most are hidden from public trackers but all planes legally broadcast a ADS-B signal that lots of sites let you look at.
