Distance each team will travel during the 2023 season….

N the third furthest, behind only USC, and UCLA….

SoCAL teams travel schedule looks brutal.

Big Ten football schedule: Distance each team will travel in 2024 season when USC, UCLA join conference

A few teams in the Big Ten Conference will be racking up airline miles when the league expands in the 2024 season

Sounds like fun. Can you imagine all of those non-revenue sports teams doing all of that traveling? How about Southern Cal's women's golf team traveling to Rutgers for an early spring golf match?

I may be wrong but I don’t think conference championships in golf are decided by weekly match play. USC and UCLA can stay out west for invitationals and then just show up for the big ten championships.

I know this is how it works for sports like track and field and swimming. Conf champions are solely determined by a 3-4 day meet. What teams do leading up to that doesn’t matter

Interesting. That makes sense. I would extend that just about every sport. The travel costs are going to be stupid.

It’s almost like the teams furthest from the geographical median of the conference will travel the furthest. Huh.

They do in sports besides football, basketball. Volleyball baseball and softball.

I’m not really trying to downplay the distance and travel time but…..some perspective is needed. The only part of their trip that is extended. Is the flight time. As with anything I travel on it’s not always the longest part. Living in Lincoln I want to catch a flight to Denver I have to leave 2.5 hours before my flight. I have a 1 hour in air time with another 1/2 hours of taxing. (Hopefully). I then spend 1/2 hour getting bags and another 1/2 getting rental followed by 1/2 hour of time to hotel for a total 5.5 hours. That’s for 500 miles. Yet I can go to Vegas. Another 600 miles or so for about 6.5 and LA for 8.

Now when you factor in they don’t make they save about 2 hours before the flight getting to airport and another 30 minutes using a bus instead of a rental car desk it’s not exceptional bad.

Just think how many term papers you can write on a 3 hour trip. 🤣🤣🤣
