The problem with the split weekend series concept is the trip to Anchorage. It
is not reasonable to expect a team to play in, for example, North Dakota on
Friday, then fly to Anchorage for a Sunday game, then fly back home for Monday
classes. If memory serves me correctly, most schools can't (don't?) even fly
directly to Anchorage, but typically have a stopover in Seattle.
