Caven Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) School dist. Time Closest Major airport Distance from airport Kansas State 135 2:39 Manhatten in town Kansas 195 3:36 Kansas City 0:55 Iowa State 223 3:38 Des Moinses 0:30 Iowa 301 4:56 DesMoines/Cedar Rapids 1:45/0:30 Missouri 325 5:24 Columbia in town Oklahoma State 408 6:44 Oklahoma City 1:13 Minnesota 432 6:54 Minneapolis in town Colorado 506 7:39 Denver 0:34 Oklahoma 455 7:32 Oklahoma City 0:24 Wisconsin 493 8:01 Madison/Milwaukee in town/1:40 Illinois 519 8:34 Chicago/Indianapolis* 2:15/2:25 Northwestern 529 8:45 Chicago in town Purdue 625 10:07 Indianapolis 1:24 Indiana 637 11:05 Indianapolis 1:15 Baylor 724 11:36 Dallas* 1:45 Michigan 745 11:58 Detroit 0:45 Michigan State 782 12:33 Detroit 0:25 Texas Tech 724 12:39 no clue Ohio State 826 13:23 Columbus in town Texas 824 13:25 Austin in town Texas A&M 815 13:28 Houston* 1:45 Penn State 1072 17:30 no clue a few hours at least *Might be one closer that I missed So the Kansas schools have no comparison in the Big 10 as far as travel and Penn State is just hard to get to. For the others you end up with: Iowa instead of Iowa State Minnesota instead of Oklahoma State Wisonsin instead of Colorado Illinois and Northwestern instead of Oklahoma (yeah this one is a sucky trade off in that distance) After that you are into long drive times in both the Big 10 and Big 12. Purdue/Indiana for Baylor Michigan/Michigan State for Texas Tech Ohio State for Texas/Texas A&M eta: I had it all spaced out nicely and then it just stripped out all of the spacing when I hit post.

Another thing to consider if NU goes to the B10 is that all the games will be in northern cities....no more warm fall football games in Okie or Texas. Big Red fans beware!! Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Say what you want about distances, but would you rather go watch a game on a warm sunny Saturday in Texas or go freeze your nuts to your thigh in Wisconsin or Minnesota? Quote Link to comment
