Students need to be able to move quickly with your gear on variable terrain. If you have a 150lb bag with skateboard wheels plus a ruck sack, have fun being the last guy dragging that thing on gravel. There will be plenty of other opportunities to contribute to Fayetteville's economy by purchasing "authorized/additional" packing list items.
Personally, I have always preferred using Aviators Kit Bag(s). They are easier to live out of than a duffle bag, and are usually listed as an optional item on military packing lists. Kit Bags are also easy to sling either on top of your ruck or carry in front of you. Lastly they are cheap ~$20.
