And while chartering planes or booking larger blocks of hotel rooms would decrease costs. It would create a few potential problems.

Take Bowling Green for example. At the BG Convention Center which is also attached to the Holiday Inn University Plaza. Visiting teams always stay here. What I am getting at is problems may arise by having to have multiple separate team meals, meeting rooms, film sessions, practice times at arena's and convention centers. Especially if hotels have multiple events booked in the conference areas and such. Also having to give 4 teams (2 home teams, and 2 away teams) allocated practice time and shoot around time creates whole new headaches for administrators and coaches as well. Coaches would likely complain about the practice time slots they get and etc.

Not saying these issues could not be resolved. Just saying it isn't as easy as just saying let's do double headers all the time. There are logistics involved that would have to be worked out and agreed upon by both the men's and women's coaches.

If you look at your early season schedule you may already do it. I know we do about 2 double headers a year. Heck after the tornado hit william carey we did a triple header. Your mens team was here that day.
