What pluses, minuses or issues does the move present for basketball that are different from, say, football? [B]Adam[/B]: The biggest thing is road games and travel. Unlike football, the bulk of basketball travel is done during winter months, and teams usually are gone three to four nights, compared to two-night football trips. Those trips to Lincoln, State College, New Brunswick and Ann Arbor could be very draining for the two L.A. schools. [B]Tarek[/B]: Short answer. It’s a money move that makes all the sense in the world. The TV deal is going to be $1 billion, with a B. UCLA hoops and USC football recruit pro-minded prospects. The travel is no different than their foundational goal of being a pro. [/QUOTE]
