Everyone plays 14 home and 14 road (unless the schools voluntarily give up
home games for home and home series where possible), the whole "extreme"
school thing is just to keep travel costs as low as possible, so teams won't
have to travel to both Omaha and Fairbanks, for one thing (except those 2
schools in their cluster). It's also to make sure a school like Michigan
doesn't travel to Omaha, Fairbanks, and all the Ohio State schools but not
any of the Michigan ones.
