The Pac 2 may be expanding

I wonder if the MW conference or NCAA subsidizes travel to Hawaii ? Seems like it would be a real financial burden to athletic budgets. I personally think Hawaii should become independent. The logistics of traveling there every other year would get old in a hurry. Hawaii is beautiful but the 10.5 hour round trip flight sucks. All the payers will see is the hotel and field before returning to campus.

That's not necessarily true. Plenty of times in the past I've seen stories of sports teams going to Pearl Harbor to experience a piece of US and WWII history. Sure it takes some extra planning, but for many of these kids, it may be the only time they visit Hawaii, so I applaud the schools that plan extra time. Shoot I'm 40 and I've never been to the 49th state. It's on my bucket list!

How about Alaska? Have you been there? If so, then you actually have been to the 49th state. Hawaii was the 50th state, admitted approximately 6 months after Alaska.

Canada will be the 51st state I heard!

Sure it won't be Greenland?


Oh, and for some reason I obviously had Alaska and Hawaii mixed up...

That said, it's amazing how many native Alaskans vacation and winter in Hawaii... Pretty cool how their cultures are intermingled...

I've been 7 or so times now to Hawaii. You need to go. It's great. Maui gets in your soul.

You mean 'Red, White, and Blueland' sir!

New York is planning on using Greenland as a storage facility
