Stanford athletics department must've been really broke. I mean, they had to make two stops at MEM and ABQ before getting back home at SJC? They couldn't charter a larger aircraft so that they don't have to make the already-long trip even longer? Their entire travel took 8+ hours.
Cal treats its athletes better by chartering a larger aircraft so that they could fly non-stop from South Carolina.
Remember that both Cal and Stanford will take 0 media-right money for the first 7 years in ACC. But Cal fares better cuz they have their little bro called UCLA who was forced to give them $10 mils from the B1G media-right money.
