Hopefully we can enact a little revenge on them.

Trips to Ann Arbor, Honolulu, Baton Rouge, and East Brunswick

This cannot be a good thing for the long haul

Football conferences are ruined. It’s all about TV money now. So much for regional matchups.

It isn’t so much the team having to travel, it is the fact that your common fan isn’t going to make it to road games across the country on a regular basis. I live in central Alabama and I’ve been to road games in Baton Rouge, Gainesville, Tallahassee, Miami, Atlanta, Starkville, etc. My dad and I used to pick one road game a year, either Troy or Alabama, and most of them were nice drives.

I get traveling to big bowl games and championship games, but are a lot of people really just picking random (already televised) regular season road games one or two states away and traveling? Especially when the home teams damn near fill the stadium? That gets brought up a lot on this site but I don’t think the average fan is doing this.

Maybe it’s an SEC thing because it just means more?

Is that round trip or one way miles? Also is it miles per person?

Good thing we have planes.

Travel gripes these days are so overblown and soft. Have a bloody Mary and be there in 3 hours watching Airplane on your Ipad.



Try a 5 day train.

The SEC thankfully stayed somewhat regional. That’s the one thing Sankey did right. The Big 10 and Big 12 are fricking stupid though. Football and basketball will be fine. The smaller sports after a few years are going to start getting cut

What a stupid move that was from the athlete’s perspective. What about the tennis team or women’s hoops team, etc. going to Rutgers and such.

I think in a few years there will be two, maybe three huge football only conferences and non-revenue sports will be in different conferences. Like UCLA will be Big 10 for football and PAC 12 for everything else. It doesn’t matter how great the football money is, it can’t be worth it to fly the women’s soccer team to Ohio for a midweek game.

From the state that's top tier concerned about climate change, we bring you more air travel in one season of football than the normal Joe will have in their lives.
