Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 2032716, member: 7597"] I am all for travel to other countries for extended (at least a week or more) amounts of time personally, hence my name. I am not for travelling long distances for short times, ugh. I mean... Connecticut - Texas Game Texas - Connecticut In the span of less than 12 hours usually. Sure, for the occasional non conference game, that is awesome. Or even building in 1 or 2 west coast games into a tourney like what Uconn did this year with LMU (but a better team please) than Maui. SURE. But during the ¨dog days¨ of confernece tourney time, to have to do that 3 or 4 times in the conference schedule, each for just one game at a time. I hate that kind of travel, not sure how the players like it but I DO think more travel like that impacts them. the kids deserve better than having to bounce between Texas or Oklahoma multiple times in the conference season and lose out on study time (or is that ¨study time¨?). In that sense, the big east is better to cut down on long conference travel time while still getting interesting west coast matches or even swings in the OOC. I do think all this extra travel hurts the average team. [/QUOTE]
