Big Ten football schedules for the 2024 season, ordered by distance traveled.
With its recent expansion into Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington, the Big Ten became the first power conference to span the entire coast.
In the current landscape of college athletic conferences, regional boundaries have largely vanished, despite the conference’s historical center being in the Midwest and Northeast. The people who create the schedules and oversee travel are further stressed by this.
Numerous Big Ten players will set records for the most miles traveled in a season as the league moves into this new era. For their road games this season, all four West Coast teams will travel at least 12,000 miles and 16 time zones round trip. This season, the eighteen Big Ten teams will have covered less than 158,000 miles combined.
That amount is greater than six times the circumference of the Earth, to put it into perspective.
