Why does playing Houston in Houston get more money than in BR?


TV money. Games at tiger stadium are broadcast under the SEC tv contract, so really no extra money. These neutral site games get their own contracts that the 2 teams split and it more than makes up for only selling half a stadium worth of tickets and concessions.

Good point and for all we know LSU might demand 60% after all we are the bigger national draw.
