This is how I figure it to get to the NC schools: CP to BWI 45 mins. To get a football team and equipment there and through security and all that good stuff 2 hours. Flight 1 hour Luggage pick up 1 hour RDU to any of the three schools 30 minutes. So I figure that is a 5:15 ordeal, and according to mapquest it is a little more than a 6 hour trip. You would think they might cut one or two other flights out if they are that hard up for money.
