I would think most teams will get out ahead of the storm. Getting home could be more of a problem. Often with storms like this, getting officials in the right place is more of a problem. Sometimes they have to fill holes with local guys who primarily work D-2 or D-3 games.

I would think that Illinois State, Drake, and Creighton would be smart enough to be where they should be before the storm hits.

If ISUr was smart they'd leave tonight yet for Wednesday's game.

Hoping the roads aren't terrible on Wednesday. I've got a 2 hr drive to Cedar Falls.

Does the team fly on a charter or commercial? Do different schools do this differently?

Creighton was flying out at noon today to Peoria.

The Bluejays are hoping to practice in Peoria sometime this afternoon. The 3 officials have also confirmed they are expected to arrive in Peoria today.

When Illinois State flys it's usually by charter.

Now the report is they are busing it up to Cedar Falls.
