I was on a JetBlue flight back in January of '06 from Miami to Boston. I was in the 2nd to last row sitting next to Jared Dudley. The entire team was spread out on the plane, sitting in random seats, mostly toward the back of a crowded plane. Dudley told me that BC was the only team in the ACC that was still flying commercial. I guess that hasn't changed.

It sounds like it was the charter that broke down (We're flying home commercial now in 3 groups). It's my understanding that sometimes they fly commercial, sometimes they fly charters.

Pac 10 too? Does the Pac 10/12 not allow charter flights too?

Now Utah and Colorado are "Travel PAC 12 Buddies"--what is that?

Pac-10 does not allow charter flights, you're correct.

You fly with each other to locations. You then bus seperately. See below.

USC/UCLA
Wash./Wash St.
Oregon/Oregon St.
Colorado/Utah
Arizona/Arizona St.
Stanford/Cal

That makes sense for USC/UCLA and Cal/Stanford but Washington/WSU and Arizona/ASU are both 3-4 hours apart and Colorado and Utah are nowhere near each other.

They're neighboring states but I get your point.
