Most players I knew in school loved to travel, as most of them had done very little of it before entering college and playing sports.
I imagine the team would be fine playing the first round(s) in Paris, France given the opportunity.
What's the big deal about having to travel? I think it's a 'recruiting tool'. Once the season's over it'll be interesting to see how many states our players were able to visit.
Much about nothing IMHO. In fact, I think it's a potential asset.
Right after we left the ACC and all the schools except Clemron dropped us from their basketball schedules, McGuire did emphasize the travel. Too bad we couldn't do both.
