I have a feeling that will be the next issue now that coast to coast conferences are happening. Travel costs for the other sports are going to skyrocket - shipping the UCLA women's basketball team to Rutgers for a Tuesday night game in front of 100 people isn't feasible.

National conferences for football/mens basketball and regional conferences for everything else is likely going to happen.

Men’s basketball needs to be regional conferences too. The big money in MBB media rights comes from the NCAA tournament anyway, not the conference’s regular season games. Ridiculous to have teams traveling cross country for midweek games.

They’re going to claim it’s a Title IX issue if they don’t though

It’s the reason women’s hoops doesn’t play in hand me down uniforms
