Nothing overly scientific here from an athlete recovery perspective per se, but just to give some numbers to how much western games can add to a team's travel wear and tear, I took a look at the flight miles for MSU football for 2018 through what would have been 2025 (the 2024 and 2025 schedules are now being scrapped, but just for perspective, still using them), though I'm ignoring 2020 for this because the year's data is kind of skewed in the end.
