Did LSU improve future baseball schedule because of SECN revenue?

We've heard for years now that we couldn't play weekend series on the road because we needed X amount of home games to pay off the stadium. And we could only travel mid week a couple of times a year for the same reason.

By now, I'm sure most have seen the anticipated schedule for the next two years. And everyone has seen the SEC Network deal that will bring us a metric ton of cash.

I'm sure that the expected increase in dollars led to our newfound baseball schedule flexibility. Going forward (beyond the next two years) is this something we should expect to continue?

And also, when the schedule is upgraded because now we can make return trips to teams that otherwise wouldn't want to play here for a one-off, will LSU then come back around and increase ticket prices since "we're scheduling more top tier teams"?

I doubt there is any connection between the 2 occurrences but I like both so it's ok with me.

when power conference teams play here three games without return trips, why would we travel anywhere?

and we don't in the nonconference... except for instate single midweek games every now and then

Why leave the box when you can get Cal St to come here?

I doubt one has to do with the other. We're only making one trip and it's not one that will require a return.
