Ok so 45-60 mins longer on a plane got it. 🙄 Huh? A trip to Rutgers is 3.5 times farther than a trip to Stanford. I have flown out of Seattle many times, and it's a world of difference to fly to the East Coast versus flying to even Southern California. You're right that the average flight will definitely be increased by more than 60 min. (Closer to 100 min by my quick calculation) But you're also comparing the closest lost trip to the furthest new trip. And I still contend that you have to remember that Washington will likely go from flying commercial to private. So that 100 more minutes of airtime each direction would almost certainly be offset by avoiding all of the things that go along with commercial travel.

Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz asks a good question about athletes' mental health after Big Ten's latest expansion"My question is: Did we count the cost? And I’m not talking about the financial cost. I’m talking about: Did we count the cost for the student-athletes involved in this decision? What cost is it to those student-athletes? We’re talking about a football decision, they based on football, but what about softball and baseball, who have to travel cross-country? Did we ask about the cost to them? "Do we know what the number one indicator or symptom of or cause of mental health [issues] is? It’s lack of rest and sleep. Traveling in those baseball, softball games, those people, they travel commercial, they get done playing, they gotta go to the airport, they come back, it’s 3 or 4 in the morning, they gotta go to class. I mean, did we ask any of them?" "I saw on Twitter several student-athletes talking about how one of the reasons they chose their school was so their parents didn't have to travel. They chose a local school so they could be regionally associated so their parents could watch them play and not have to travel. Did we ask them if they wanted to travel from the East Coast to the West Coast? "Man, I love the game, but every game that I coach, I look up in the stands and find my family. I make sure they can be there. Because that's what I'm doing this for." sports.yahoo.com/missouris-eli-drinkwitz-asks-a-good-question-about-athletes-mental-health-after-big-tens-latest-expansion-224121448.html

My local D1 baseball program was taking 12 hour bus rides to get far enough south to play games in February and March. This is the equivalent of first class passengers complaining about the miseries of air travel.

This continues to be conveniently ignored by people who are concerned with “student wellbeing.” Not to mention when teams would take hours long bus rides in one day to get between UW/WSU, UO/OSU. Chartered flights is a game changer.

Chartered flights is a game changer. This! Only time I've seen teams fly commercial is pre season. During the season they fly charter at least in the SEC they do. Commercial flights area thing of the past during conference season.
