Admin. wants to protect local revenue? Quit scheduling neutral site games

If you want to keep the money in Baton Rouge, yeah I agree.

They get a nice check though without hassle and expenses of putting on a game, they probably net just as much or more for neutral site and it's a lot harder to get the home and home matchups.

FWIW, Neutral site games are a TV revenue source for the whole conference. They also extend the school "brand." Little bit of a double edge sword

They don't care as long as they get their piece of the pie.

I'm sure that has a little to do with the summer baton rouge had, but they make these schedules years ahead of time. Hindsight is 20/20. Doesn't mean we have to start giving up scheduled home games for other athletic departments incompetence.

It's called Return on Investment (ROI). LSU plays these neutral site games because it keeps the alumni base involved and markets the school's brand across the country. The trip to Lambeau Field generated huge interest here in Houston and that, in turn, generates more interest in going back to home games in Baton Rouge.

I didn't say shite about it not being good for LSU, just for them to sit there and talk about getting our home game back is just hypocritical as shite.

Basically no one takes revenue from the city of BR...unless it helps the athletic program make more money.

I mean i get the neutral site games and I live in Houston so its a shorter drive for me, still its political bullshite.

Yea real hard to being power houses like BYU into TS. Gotta play those giants in Houston.

But if you want a top flight money maker program without sucking on the teet of students or state government, you got get those checks.
