5 hours if they fly to BWI to play Maryland. That’s OK for football or any sport that plays exclusively on weekends. That would be absolute hell to fly in Monday night for a Tuesday basketball game, fly back Tuesday night, and fly out again Friday for a Saturday game for 3-4 hours. Nebraska would be shortest flight for the furthest West teams and that’s still 3+ hours followed by flying into Chicago, which is just under 4 hours. |

It is not optimal but the athletes need to understand that this was the best long term for the university and players. Like horse racing, you need money to be top tier in college athletics. Oregon and Washington were looking at $20 per year versus $70-80 for Big Ten teams. |

Other than that, yes, leaving for the Big 12 or B1G was the next best thing due to the financial instability of the conference. I think we're aligned in that they'll probably do the two weeks trip when going to the Midwest or East Coast. Otherwise, you're putting your team at even more of a disadvantage for more frequent transcontinental flights. |

Don't forget, Georgia won the national championship two years in a row so that counts for something for mizzou fans.

But this new crop of teams, coming in as pretentious as they are, are clearly wanting to change that. |
