They don't travel by wagon. A 1 to 3 hour flight is typical on a travel day. Maybe a 4 hour flight on occasion. It's not like they're flying to Europe.

For the western most teams, it’s a 5 hour flight to NYC if they were to fly into a major airport near Rutgers.

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.

I am thinking they are going to do the two-week tour method.

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.

What would've been best long-term is if the Pac 12 had competent leadership, which is very clear they didn't and their last two commissioners ****ed up the last decade, to secure a legitimate media rights deal instead of doing nothing.

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.

Oh yeah, I'm sure peeg wore his SEC shirt loud and proud both times.

This is Herm’s dumbshit friend?

I feel like rivalries were kind of disappearing in the Big 12 (KU-MU, OU-OSU, TX-TX A&M, CO-NE, OU-TX).

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

How to win friends and influence people

I’m sure he’s also one of the top donors* to MUtt endowment.

*Not money though. Guy like that donates plasma. (Poor’s gonna poor.)

Now that my Alma mater UCF is in the Big 12 if another Big 12 team wins the National Championship I won't be celebrating it.

Lot of rocks being thrown by the axis that has to claim reerun and pete.

Can't imbed on mobile. Pac-4.
