I'm saying football and hoops only makes more sense than just football if they want to minimize the travel for other non-revenue sports.
The only non-revenue sports it would meaningfully impact is women's soccer and volleyball.
Baseball/softball already play a large part of their season down South for weather reasons. We just start our seasons in Texas instead of Florida.
Many sports only compete in "conference" play once a year for the league championships, and regional meets otherwise (for UConn, this is track and field, cross country, women's rowing, swimming and diving).
Tennis and golf don't play full round robin, but they typically do play regional heavy slates and occasional national trips.
The Big Twelve doesn't sponsor field hockey, women's lacrosse, ice hockey, or men's soccer. We already have affiliate memberships for all but the last and men's soccer will have no problem finding one.
Football will be swimming in cash. Basketball already plays a national schedule and being back in a power league will mean again with the cash swimming.
