From today's e-edition of the SF Chron -- Stanford will be using charter flights much more next year when they get into the ACC, including for women's BB

I would guess all charter flights next year and rightly so as Tara mentions. Surprising that we even fly commercial at all now. Many programs do only charter. Our nonconference schedule intrigues me for next year. How regional we stay and what current Pac12 programs we try to schedule if any.

My guess is that we continue to do a tournament somewhere during non conference, but that will likely be the only distant non conference destination.

We can probably put together a very strong non conference schedule by scheduling some of our nearby (former) Pac 12 teams.  I would guess that UCLA and USC will be priorities, but also other former Pac 12 schools in regions in which we regularly recruit.  It could make our out-of-conference schedule very tough.  But the states of Oregon and Colorado and Washington have been fertile recruiting grounds for us, for example.  There won't be a lot of room to schedule Connecticut or South Carolina--or even Indiana.
