I’m sorry but how anyone can consider the Atlantic Coast Conference a realistic option is beyond me. No disrespect to other posters, but as someone who travels coast-to-coast regularly for work, it’s a brutal experience. Scheduling extended stay road trips and incorporating school holidays is like the little Dutch boy using his fingers to plug a leaky dike. Imnsho it makes a mockery of the student experience.

I use to fly to the East coast frequently on business.  From the time an Olympic sports team gets in a shuttle bus to go to the airport for a commercial flight to the time they check into a hotel, is it really that big a difference whether they are in the air for two or four hours.  

I assume you are also against flying to Penn State, Rutgers, and Maryland.  What about Olympic sports teams flying to Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, etc in mid/late November?
