re: Baseball: Out of Conference Schedule

I think I remember reading awhile back that we don't play big time non conference road games, or home games for that matter because they cost us $$$. 1st off if you play say a North Carolina, they would want a 2 year home and home contract. You can't get North Carolina in a home series without the return trip. Cost money to fly out to these locations, pay for hotel and expenses from Friday-Sunday. The financial reward like there is in a big non conference game in college football is not there. These game would end up costing us money. Makes more financial sense for LSU to schedule a crappy or sub par Northern team to come down for 3 games. These schools have no choice but to play these games seeing as the weather is shite during this time. Playing baseball in New York in Feb. in not my ideal of fun.
BTW last 3 game non conference road trip was Stetson in 2006
