My Formula for football scheduling

1. IF the SEC stays with 8 conference games...
One Big 5 conf team in an opening game neutral site game in Arlington, Houston, Atlanta, Jersey, or Chicago Soldier Field
One Big 5 conf team in a home and home. I really like that we scheduled UCLA. Play all the PAC 12 teams home and home.
Other two games would be against Louisiana schools who can bus in and maybe sell 2-4K tickets.
2. If SEC goes to 9 conference games, I would drop 1 of the Louisiana teams. That might mean we'd onlyt have 6 home games in some years. I can live with that because attendance at home game is declining fast especially for rent-a-wins.

Just because butts aren't in the seats doesn't mean those tickets weren't sold. Going to 6 games at home takes away $

frick neutral site games

1. $20 mil a year from SECN makes it easy to give up $3 mil for that 7th home game.
2. Neutral site games are players favorite and coaches too. Plus LSU makes more $$$ from back-to-back neutral site games than from a home-and-home.

Home games bring in way more than 3 mill. Especially when you factor in all the money it's brings to Baton Rouge in general.

My SEC scheduling wish: no more divisions. Top 2 teams go to the SECCG.
3 permanent opponents, 5 rotating. That way in a four year span you play every single SEC team home and away.

LSUAD official told me that the LSUAD nets right at $3 million for a home game. The LSUAD does not get operating income from what BR businesses make on home game weekends.

It doesn't matter if the AD doesn't directly get money from it. A boost in Baton Rouge economy is good for the state and good for LSU. The more home games the better.

There's no way LSU or any other school with a brain would handicap themselves by scheduling 6 away games against Big 5 conf. teams. Forget all the revenue talk, from a competitive football standpoint that's just dumb.
If there's a 9 game SEC schedule, I'd bet the house that in the year of 5 road games, there would be 4 games at home, and doubtful any of them would be killers.

I'm not interested in giving away that 7th home game. I wait all year to get my season tickets and go to the ball games.
I'll pass on screwing the fans...

This would be my ideal schedule:
1 OOC game with above average AQ (BCS) Conference School (Home and Home)
1 OOC game with average to below average AQ (BCS) Conference School (Home and Home)
1 OOC game with Cupcake School, but not Division II (Always Home game)
9 Conference games with no permanent cross-divisional rivals.
No neutral site games.
But ince we are stuck with neutral site games, I am on board with another posters suggestion that the above average AQ team should be a three game series: Home, Home, and Neutral.
