Arizona can schedule these schools to reduce travel costs in wake of coronavirus crisis

The coronavirus crisis is making many college athletic programs rethink their scheduling tactics. The Arizona Wildcats are no exception.

Athletic director Dave Heeke said earlier in the month that the UA is “ramping up” its regional scheduling to help reduce travel costs in this wretched economic climate, with the focus being on opponents from regions like Utah, Nevada, New Mexico and Southern California

“Some of those can be done with ground transportation, on bus transportation, or pretty direct quick commercial flights, so that helps with with the with the travel and the costs,” Heeke said.
