You do realize UVU and Seattle U are currently travel partners. And, NMSU used to be paired up with UTRGV as travel partners last year. The WAC schedule is usually a Thursday / Saturday setup with a travel day in between games. A fight from Lamar to UTRGV only takes a couple hours. Other than (Texas) divisional play in the Eastern Division of the WAC, most Thursday/Saturday games in the Western Division and cross divisional games require air travel. No one is busing to Seattle.

I don't realize that, because the WAC doesn't currently have travel partners. Under the Friday/Saturday schedule, they're not necessary. I do know that Seattle and UVU were travel partners last year. I've also already made it clear that your proposed travel partners are better than last year's setup, but I think they are far from ideal. So it's unclear to me what point you are trying to make.

Edit: Oh, yes, I agree. Air travel will be required in the west.
