When June Jones received Hawaii's schedule last spring and saw the back-to-back road games at Louisiana Tech and UNLV, he immediately decided on making it one trip -- a 2-game, 12-day, 8,600-mile trip to the mainland. The total cost was $277,461, according to a university document. Had the Warriors made separate trips for the two games, the cost would have been $307,670.

We're are calling them "student-athletes" still, right?

Way to be cost-effective there.

That's crazy, but I guess it paid off.

thats part of living in Hawaii... no professional teams of any kind, it just costs too much to fly back and forth. a round trip from honolulu to california runs from $600 to sometimes $1000 depending on the time of year, and remember you've got 60 something players and coaches going over, and then the rooms!? they probably should have gambled to make back some of that money, lol
