Maybe with the savings, we can actually buy a bus although it probably takes a couple or three for big time programs.
 
Tennessee tech I would guess is a plane and if they they with the big south I’m guessing some of those will be plane rides.
 
I read an article on the move and it said all the trips will be bus rides
 
I wonder if that means they'll head down a day early for those. Probably don't want to do a bit over 8 hours on the road on a bus the day before the game. Assuming a Saturday game, drive down Thursday, rest and work out on Friday, play the game on Saturday, then drive back on Sunday. Shorter drives could be done on Friday morning and early afternoon for a late afternoon workout probably, then probably drive back after the game on Saturday.

I highly doubt we would come back on Sunday. I imagine we would drive back right after the game. That gets the kids back by at least super early am on Sunday.

I guess as long as the game ain’t at 6 because then you’re probably looking at getting back at 8am on Sunday

Yup, and on September 2nd this fall, they’ll become Notre Dame’s first ever I-AA/FCS opponent.
