That's patently stupid.

Particularly as two of the round-trips (to San Diego and NYC) are completely avoidable and offer no on-field benefit.

Think of all the time, money, and effort wasted on those cross-country trips, not to mention the effect on the players' circadian rhythms. Athletic and academic performance are bound to suffer, compounding everything else already wrong with the program.

Meanwhile, over that same 5 week span:

Alabama makes one trip in the same time zone (to Baton Rouge)
Auburn makes two (grand total: 660 miles)
Georgia makes two (to Jacksonville & Kentucky)
Ohio State makes two, both in the same time zone (grand total: 1300 miles)

Dumb.

If we had a good coach and team it wouldn’t matter

The schedule is so far down the list of concerns it’s pointless to bitch. It’s not even close to the root cause of the next 8-5 season.

Follow the money

It no longer matters whether we win or lose as long as ND and Anthony Travel make a shitload of money.

Agree. Stupid and arrogant.

It might not matter as much with better coaching, but this regime finds ways to do less with more.
