as they have to spend so much time flying when they used to be able to take short bus rides or short flights to their games. They're going to miss so much school when the majority of them are not going to be professional athletes.

This is not good for sports, the students, fans or the environment. There's nothing good about this.

- That's why the conferences being local is best. Maryland last year had 2 trips that weren't conference related that were outside the mid-atlantic. - Will Hunting Sep 1, 06:50
- Right and I'm not talking just about football. I mean all sports. Volleyball players and tennis players. They all have to make these ridiculous long - Krusty Sep 1, 06:09
Agree. The flip side of that is they'd see a huge drop in competition and recruiting for those other sports if they hadn't joined. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Champ Sep 1, 06:07 2
- There needs/needed to be actual rules about conference size and distance between schools. Allowing them to do whatever they want has brought us to - Krusty Sep 1, 06:14 1
