Makes sense with their conference travel schedules

Sec still pretty good on travel. But Southern California to Pennsylvania/ny/ midwest... makes little sense

I said this a couple of years ago.

These OOC games are going to disappear. No reason. Losing gate money.

Georgia and Auburn will be picking up Mercer, Western Kentucky, Louisiana-Monroe and Georgia State.

There's no Big 10 team in New York. But, yes, the travel schedule that arises with the "expand at all costs" mindset is ridiculous. I feel bad for those kids playing basketball.

I think the Big 10 expansion with the PAC teams is untenable. Let's see how it all shakes out once there is a season or two of all that travel and including other sports besides football.

The other sports are what will kill it. Football is one game per week. The sports that have to fly commercial will make them reconsider the wisdom of a “national” conference.

I think we'll see combined sports weekends. IE: One team is bringing more than one of their spring sports teams per trip: baseball and softball on the same flights.

With how much they're gonna have to fly, I can't imagine that jet lag they'll feel. I'll fly once and want to be done with it for weeks.

But seriously, that's ridiculous.

I've said it before. I'll say it again.

Just sit back, and watch. That's all we can do.

And ..... that now...remember many things in life ...taking off in an awkward direction...only to resurface in a sensible direction....
