re: New Mexico to get $1.6 Million to play LSU

I would much prefer the SEC go to a 10 game ALL SEC schedule.
Maybe play an OOC team in a preseason game that doesn’t count the first week of September.
Then 10 meaningful games, SEC ONLY, a 4 team SEC tournament, then the NCAA playoffs.
Playing 12 regular season is stupid with a playoff, and playing non-SEC teams is a complete waste of time.

and playing non-SEC teams is a complete waste of time.
If SEC doesn't play others, you don't get a true evaluation of comparable level of play.
For example-
UGA/Oregon; top tier SEC vs upper/top tier Pac 12. Complete wipeout in favor of SEC.
Fla/Utah; mid-tier SEC vs top tier Pac 12. Very evenly matched, Fla wins at home.
Ark/Cincinnati; mid-tier SEC vs top tier AAC (got a playoff berth last year). Even matchup, Ark wins at home.
LSU/Fla State; mid-tier for both SEC,ACC. Evenly matched, 1 point win for Fla State. LSU made opening day mistakes and Fla State got theirs out of the way a week earlier against a cupcake.
Auburn/Penn State- mid-tier SEC vs upper tier Big 10. Blowout for Penn State.
What we see here, is that Pac 12 can't compete with SEC. Their top tier is in a dogfight with our mid-tier. 2 teams with similar records, you choose SEC. Same thing with AAC, shows they can only get a playoff berth due to (inflated) record.
Other hand, you do see ACC and Big 10 play at comparable levels overall to SEC, the mid-tier teams match up, and the top teams will smoke the mid tiers.
I bring all this up, because prior to the BCS, it was just a popularity contest to see who was ranked #1. SEC often lost in the polls, because the games were never on the field.
You want to avoid that happening with playoff spots. A 10-2 SEC team should get the nod over an 11-1 Pac 12 or AAC team. They will, as long as teams play and you can see the difference; they probably won't if they never face off.

FBS opponent and offsetting cost of travel. Southern only got paid $700k.

Rocky Long’s coaching history seems like a pretty interesting story.

Much improved team this year but their offense is bad. The defense will surprise some people. I was a former LSU athlete and my son is a freshman playing at New Mexico.

LSU was the highest ever payout for UNM.
LSU always overpays and they usually get underwhelming performance for it

Didn’t these OOC games used to be in the 500k range?
That was $20 trillion in national debt ago, we've had slight inflation since then

Dang. That's a lot of money.
One thing for sure: UNM better not win this game.

That’s the Marley today. LSU keeps the balance. Do the math. $60x80k plus concessions

Most FBS programs lose money on sports, this is a major source of revenue for New Mexico. They know how the game will turn out, but they get a nice payout for making the trip.

It’s not LSU’s responsibility to fund mid majors.
If we don't pay them, someone else will and we'll get an FCS opponent.
