No doubt it would be a long trip but definitely not the same thing.

In the pros, the closest team to Europe would be ~6 flight hours and a 4+ hour time change, with most of the league being 8+ hours flight and 6+ hours time difference.

Gonzaga would have a 4.5 hour flight to its furthest opponent and half of the league only ~3 hours. How different is that than their current trips to southern CA for their WCC conference games?

Also, the travel burden would be 100% on Gonzaga. If they are up for it, then why not? Sure we have to go to Spokane once per year, but that’s no different than Nova flying out to UCLA for a non conference game or us going out to the PK80 or PK85 next season…

Hawaii is D1 in basketball and football and is a 4.5 hour flight from their closest conference member and much further to some others. If they can make it work, so can Gonzaga.

With WiFi and inflight entertainment (often live TV) 4.5 hours is really no big deal, especially on a charter.
