IIRC, the PAC played Thursday/Friday and Sunday. If that continues, then having just Memphis and Tulane wouldn't hurt the BB schedule much.. You fly in to Tulane on Wednesday or Thursday, play Thursday or Friday, fly to Memphis and play on Sunday. Get back home Sunday night. We don't have to worry about spending a night at altitude and this schedule is not as disruptive for the academics. Same with Memphis and Tulane coming the other way. Fly into San Diego Wed or Thu and play on Thu or Fri and then jump on a bus to Fresno for Sunday. We might want to keep that part of travel on the low down.

And don't forget that teams won't have to drive 2-4 hours by bus to get to Memphis or Tulane, so compared to some MW schools, actual *travel time* could be less, despite being a longer *distance* |

I'm sure all those 6'10" guys are going to miss the long bus rides on those luxurious rides to Laramie, Colorado Springs, Logan and Fort Collins.

Psst, CSU is in the PAC too. |

WSU could actually be the worst trip, logistically, unless there are more flights into Pullman, WA than I'm aware of.
But yes, WSU and CSU aren't great. But Tulane, Memphis, other possible additions are all actually pretty easy trips despite a slightly longer flight.
