LIke the last two respondents, I live in a population-dense area. I have 4 HS within 4 miles of my house (in three different conferences). 3 D-3 schools within about 7 miles. 8 d-3 within an hour, and another half-dozen or so NAIA schools. All of the D-3 and NAIA are in conferences that extend much farther, so there is some travel involved in those. a dozen or so JuCo within the same range. What we are lacking is D-2 schools -- ther'es one about 30 minutes away; the rest are much farther.
My general rule-of-thumb (and there are some exceptions) is that the round-trip distance in miles is less that then game fee in dollars (so for a $60 varsity fee, I will go thirty miles from home). I also commute to work by taking the train, so I usually drive to the train station that's most-convenient to the game site. It's easier to make that trip at 6 am than it would be at 6 pm
