I honestly don't think that this is too big of a deal. Football teams are traveling 5 or 6 times a year. It's the smaller sports (basketball, baseball, golf, tennis, soccer, water polo, lacrosse, etc) that will suffer. They are travelling much more often, and often during the week to play weeknight games. They're the ones travelling across multiple time zones, missing classes, etc.

What games weren’t the small sports getting on a plane for? Looks like each other. They are just going to sit on a plane for 5 hrs instead of 2 1/2 each way.
