together, etc...but rather when a road team visits 2 different teams on their trip...

Here is an example of how I used to think it applied...Say SDSU in the MWC days went on a road trip. They might make a Thur/Sat trip to visit BYU (Thur) & Utah (Sat) in 1 trip. This could greatly reduce travel expenses for SDSU vs visiting BYU on the road in early Jan and Utah on the road in late Jan.

Then for example there might be another school say UNLV that comes to Utah on that same Thur and BYU on that same Sat. Some may call SDSU/UNLV the travel partners but in my previous thinking of it BYU/Utah were the travel "to" partners for those other teams.

Again whether my old way of thinking of this or what seems like the new way it doesn't apply for football.

New impression it seems like people are trying to associate is that the teams traveling together some how reduce costs of the 2 traveling teams. While my way of thinking does possibly reduce the cost of the traveling teams it isn't because another team traveled with them it is because the 2 teams they visited are close enough that only 1 plane trip is necessary and they could possibly even stay in the same hotel each night...
