Adding on to JRut's comments: Do both of those guys have families? I can see doing it once in a while but if you're away from home a decent amount to begin with while staying within 500 miles from home, I can't see that going over well with the spouse/kids if you make a habit of it.
Also, the Big XII/X is still just a one time zone trip from the East with Colorado out of the mix (Texas Tech is the longest trip). Now they even have a school - West Virginia - that's not too far away.
