When flying those distances, it's about size fuel and weight. Fuel being a very critical thing here.It is buried in the USC thread but it appears that PSU drove to Harrisburg to use their airport so we could use a single plane. However, a poster is saying that UCLA flew into state college with two 737-800s. In listening to Franklin, he seems to say that with all the players and weight, we can't use a single plane. If UCLA used two, that seems to make sense. And, of course, two would be much more expensive than one.
CJF also goes on to say that this was a problem that was identified when the B1G expanded to the west coast.
