Yes, there is no good way to split the league geographically if required transportation is by bus. The only "good" option is if the league lets the Boston-area schools and the D.C./Baltimore schools fly to games. In that case, you could have an Eastern section of Holy Cross, Boston, Navy, American, and Loyola, plus a Western section of Bucknell, LU, LC, Colgate, and Army.

It is fairly cheap for Holy Cross, for example, to fly to D.C. Right now round-trip tickets in early January between Boston and D.C. range from $75 (Spirit) to $91 (Jet Blue) to $97 (American and United). There are over 30 direct flights with round-trip fares less than $100. That arrangement would likely minimize total league travel time. A flight to DC from Holy Cross is a lot quicker than a bus ride to Bucknell.
