I don’t know about the travel.  Yeah not great we can’t go to road games easily, but I know that back in the 1960-70s there were some pretty good college baseball teams in the Northeast.  UConn, Maine (had 3 pitchers who pitched in the majors on one team in the early 1970s including Bobby Witt, father of the current star) and BC all played in the college World Series at one time or another.  St John’s and Seton Hall were very good and both produced top major leaguers.  Over time as the academic year ended earlier and earlier, and the college season started earlier and earlier, northern clubs began to struggle. Then they figured out how to change the model and instead of 1 spring break Florida trip to start the season they began making multiple warm weather trips.  They adapted and now the ones who did are competitive again.  That, I think will happen to teams that need to travel long distances in basketball and football.  They will figure out a strategy, be it leave Tuesday to acclimate or something else.  Once they do the current disadvantages will shrink.
