I agree that it's not a deal breaker and not nearly as big a deal as some would make out of it, but to be fair, football isn't the only sport that would be affected by the travel issues.

We're talking an hour, maybe 2, in additional travel time on any given weekend. The travel tripe means nothing.

They just have to keep improving and putting themselves in cyclical positions to be contenders. |

An extra hour on the plane you say? What about the swim teams and lacrosse teams and all the other teams that don't have that kind of air travel budget?

As for the other sports travel, they already travel 1000s of miles. I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine that Iowa State women's softball flies to Lubbock every once in a while and vice versa. |

I was listening to an interesting point on the radio today that said this isn't over. The small guys in the big conferences will feel the heat. That is, why would Northwestern or Miss. State remain parts of those conferences? Tradition is no longer an issue. It's TV contracts that's the end game. |

Why wouldn't Northwestern remain B10? Whoever asked that is a dumbass.

The point being made was if it's all about TV, why would these conferences bat an eye at dumping irrelevant programs? |
