Travel Distances

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. Sorry :(

Good work! I was looking at some of that info the other day. Thanks for posting!

 
Nice post! I talked to a Penn State friend and Happy Valley is equadistant from both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, which is an approximately 3 hours drive.

 
hey Caven can you do drive times using Buffalo NY as home base :laughpound :sarcasm

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!!

It just makes that New Years trip to California, Florida or Arizona that much more enjoyable!

 
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?
