Not a perfect solution because of 11 teams for basketball and no one near Creighton, but I think a system that has less travel would work. In other threads people have opined that part of what is contributing to injuries is wear and tear from rarely having two home games in a row.   Someone mentioned that a schedule pair like this would work:

UConn-Providence 50 miles
Butler-Xavier 129 miles
St Johns- Seton Hall 40 miles
Villanova-Georgetown 150 miles
Marquette-DePaul 90 miles

UCLA-USC are about 14 miles apart, but with LA traffic that can take an hour.  Plus starting in 2024 they will be in the Big 10.
Oregon/Oregon State and Cal/Stanford are about 50-60 miles apart.   The Arizonas are about 105 miles apart.  The Washingtons about 290 miles apart. Utah/Colorado are 500 miles.

I love that there are basketball games I can watch on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, but I wish conferences would try to do a Thursday/Saturday, Friday/Sunday, and/or Saturday/Monday schedule to limit time away from campus for classes.
