It's off-season trivia time.

After being bored for most of the evening, I got to thinking about which schools have the longest and shortest trips to play a sporting event in their conference.  I only considered the Power 5 conferences as I am not that familiar with the Group of 5 conferences.

My distances are only approximate as I merely clicked on the cities in a maps measure app.

It looks like the PAC-12 has both the longest and shortest.  UA-UW comes in at 1230 miles.  And USC-UCLA are merely cross town.  For the 2nd longest I came up with Nebraska-Rutgers at 1181 miles, followed by Notre Lame-Miami at 1154 miles.  The two schools up north could be 2nd shortest but I may have overlooked closer schools. 

Anyone know of any long or short "commutes" I missed?  Anything in the Group of 5 that stands out?
