That would make a mockery of the term student athlete for ALL Gonzaga teams. How does a team's players ever go to school when traveling in excess of 2000 miles to play games? Assuming some slight accommodation for travel where the team bunches up it's road games, you are talking about 8/9 cross country trips. I've had to travel for work across country and it takes its toll on you both physically and mentally.
Total selling out of the entire athletic department if it happens and the administration should be called out for not taking the kids (not just basketball but ALL sports teams) best interests to heart. And for what, so their men's basketball team can make the final four? But wait, didn't they make the final four last year? I love college basketball but where does the madness stop?
