- Stanford had 1 trip to North Carolina (before school started, same as scheduled for this fall)
- a road trip to the Washington schools (compared to a trip to Louisville and a stop in Chicago/South Bend on the way back)
- a road trip to Boulder (compared to a trip to Dallas to play SMU)
Doesn't look unreasonably more difficult than in the past (just more time zones). The big difference will be that the ACC has a conference tournament, while the Pac 12 didn't. That will be up to 3 games. The first game, if they have one, could either be home or away. The semi-final and the championship games are always in North Carolina. Depending on how Stanford plays, the tournament could involve anywhere from 0 additional trips up to 2.
