The new B1G is sofa king dumb. It'll lose it's luster after a couple of years of teams and fans having to commit that much travel time and budget. Sure, it's fun to go to USC, UCLA, or Oregon once for a road game, but nobody is going to do it multiple times a year as a fan.

Rutgers/UCLA is gonna be straight 🔥

We are in a time of growing pains between the old, traditional conference setup and the inevitable creation of 2 “super conferences” which I’m guessing will allow things to be restructured more regionally once again.

It’s an unbelievably stupid point in time that hopefully won’t last for too much longer.

Exactly. You cashed the checks, now get on the fucking plane.

Buttgers/UCLA is gonna be straight 🔥

UCLA drawing back to back road games at Rutgers and Nebraska in late October and early November suggests someone with the Big Ten absolutely hates UCLA.

Did UCLA fans ever travel, even to places like Cal and Stanford?

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Love it.

 

[iruletheskool]

A large enough sample size for sure

 

[BluesBucksNHuskers]

Maybe 3 weeks into conference play is a little early to sound the alarm?

I think its slightly possible that teams will make adjustments and learn to handle long plane rides better.

 

[Herbie]

I imagine the home team was favored in almost all of these contest

I think the B1G should bring Alaska, Miami and Hawaii into the conference.

As petty as the B1G is, it wouldn't surprise me. Of course I'm not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic.

OR… we see this as a benefit for Nebraska who is halfway to any coastal conference opponent as it is.

On the other side of the coin, Miami and Syracuse, travel from the Eastern to the Pacific time zone and both win-Syracuse on Friday night on a short week against a ranked team

IIRC...They don't even travel to Pasadena.

They don’t even travel to places like the rose bowl and the coliseum

Travel as well as usc fans do to home games

LA is a pro sports town
