I live in Omaha, attended Creighton and have season tickets. I don't know that I've seen anyone publicly offer any negative commentary on adddd travel since joining the big East or suggested adding schools as a way to ease that. Are the distances greater – of course. No surprise there. Adding Dayton and St. Louis doesn't change anything.

Actually it decreases travel, which in turn saves money...
It's not that hard of a concept to grasp

But we'd rather have a home and home with all of the eastern schools only see them once a year. Keep that in mind. The value of being in this conference is the added games against those high profile schools.

YOU would rather have home and home versus everyone. Do the board of regents, president, and everyone else who have to be concerned with funds feel the same way?

Also, you are thinking strictly of men's basketball when there are at least 15 other sports the university has to get across the country. That's thousands of miles saved each season is Dayton and St. Louis are added.

And, where do you think the money comes from that allows transportation of those non revenue generating sports? Mainly from the revenue generating sports, including their donors and sponsorships. Some of it comes from student tuition fees, too. And, since Creighton doesn't have a football team it relies solely upon men's basketball and the money goes quick. Maybe, a few other sports are in the black revenue wise but barely. The men's basketball team doesn't keep all of that money.

Let's pretend Creighton has 10,000 season ticket holders - probably not out of the realm of possibility or even low. That is 2.25 million dollars from just season tickets.

Add in TV revenue, single game revenue, NCAA revenue, massive donations due to basketball, etc....

Travel might be some issue for non revenue sports, but it's easily off set.

Plus it's not like Dayton is actually that close to Omaha so they would only really save money
on trips to SLU. Creighton (and the rest of the Big East) couldn't care any less about SLU or Dayton.

wrong. it would decreas 3 other trips for just the mens basketball team to eastern schools since it would be a rotating schedule 3 home 3 away not round robin. that's just 1 sport. the money adds up fast when the revenue has to transport the tennis, swimming, wrestling, archery, rowing, etc etc etc crap sports to competetions half way across the country it goes fast, especially when youre paying a basketball coach million+

Numbers when it comes to that are very tricky. Many report making nothing to hide revenue to avoid different things that go with it.

I'm sure they're making money. I'm also sure they'd like to cut expenses.
