Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 2577727, member: 1559"] Let's put this travel thing to bed once and for all. Big East: Average distance = 591 miles, 4/10 over 800 miles away, 5/10 less than 400 miles away. Bus rides = 3. ACC: Average distance = 719 miles, 6/15 over 800 miles away, 2/15 less than 400 miles away. Bus rides = 1. Big 10: Average distance = 837 miles, 8/14 over 800 miles away, 3/14 less than 400 miles away. Bus rides = 1. Big 12: Average distance = 1,514 miles away, 9/10 over 800 miles away, 0/10 less than 400 miles away. Bus rides = 0. SEC: Average distance = 1,170 miles away, 14/14 over 800 miles away, 0/14 less than 400 miles away. Bus rides = 0. AAC (w/o Navy): Average distance = 1,204 miles away, 8/12 over 800 miles away, 1/12 less than 400 miles away. Bus rides = 0. Yes, the average distance may be somewhat longer in the AAC, but in every conference UConn could belong to, virtually every game would be a plane ride. And, the Big East is not the same Big East we all remember with the additions of Xavier (OH), Butler (IN), and Creighton (NE) as well as Marquette (WI) and DePaul (IL). [/QUOTE]
