Travel: do teams charter flights?

Postby Dew » Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:49 pm

Much of the discussion about adding teams has to do with travel. I have no idea of how most teams travel. Do schools have charters available? I can't imagine they fly commercial do they?

Jays fan here. My understanding is CU travels by charter about 70 % of the time.

I have no insight on how teams travel, but I wonder: If mens basketball teams charter, does Titlt IX also require that womens teams do as well?

Seton Hall often charters when it makes sense but for many games ( eg, St. John's, nova, Providence, RU) a bus is faster and more convenient. In the new conference, I expect that, save a few local schools, SHU will charter. Chartering will be even more important in the future to allay any concerns of recruits that this league is anything but premier.

X charters, except for Dayton, Butler, Duquesne, and (obviously) UC.
