Today had an article on the men's team about travel to the coasts for the ACC teams. Said it was exhausting. Fortunately, the east coast fans only have to do it once while the west coast fans do it multiple times. that is why the first game is so hard. And that is why i wish we were playing Notre Dame first (since we would lose anyhow) and then Louisville. We might beat Louisville is we played them second.

Has cross-country ACC travel made things tougher for Stanford, Cal women's teams?

Quote:

By the end of their first season of ACC basketball, Cal and Stanford women's teams will have traveled more than 23,000 miles apiece for conference road games. In their first road trips, to SMU and Clemson earlier this month, they traveled 6,900-plus miles, a total that already overtook last year's entire conference road mileage total.

Both programs insist the added travel isn't weighing too heavily on their performances, but after two trips, results have been mixed Stanford went 1-3, Cal 2-2.

Do the athletes earn miles (if they are flying commercial)?

The Cal women fly charter.
