It’s a good point and it might be necessary in order to shift to week end only play, in which case it may be an acceptable compromise.  That being said, athletes usually take a lighter academic load during the season and load up on classes in the off-season, so it will be harder to do if the season runs all year long.

Think of all the extra frequent flier miles they'd get for twice as many cross-country flights.  Or, would it be bonus points for staying in hotels on the other side of the country for four or so extra weeks per year?

I think part of the recommendation is going back to playing in regional groups, which would mitigate a lot of the worst of the travel.
