I think the simplest solution would be a phone conference. If that many coaches don't want to do it Thursday night in person, then do it Thursday night via phone. Then there will be no travel cost or anything. I don't think this is the biggest deal in the world though. There are other more important things that need to be fixed. Also keep in mind many coaches would rather have their team stay the night before when they travel long distances. Then they don't have to worry about the long trip effecting their guys and the team is fresh the next day.
