re: 2012 Game vs. Towson

THe purpose of course, was to keep the monies in-state.




I've never understood that argument.

If we pay a lower tier school from Louisiana or we pay a rent a win from pout of state we pay the same money. If the state school plays LSU or some other BCS school they get paid.

Unless LSU pays too much for cupcakes it doesn't matter as we play and they play the same number of games.

NSU playing Bama or LSU should be the same for NSU, Troy playing LSU or Bama should be the same for Troy.

Except that IF LSU played NSU, ULL, Southeastern, Northeastern, etc. ---- more of their fans would come to BR and would be in town a day or 2 -- spending $$ on hotels, meals, etc.

When ULL, etc. travel out of town -- that $$ goes to whatever State they are playing in, not Louisiana.

Teams -- like Towson are not going to bring fans to BR -

For example --- McNeese students and fans were thrilled to play at LSU -- and they bought up every ticket they had available through their school.

If North Texas brings 1000 I'd be surprised.... Idaho even less... Towson... if 300 fans make that trip I'd be surprised.

I may be wrong -- but it's going to be a LOW number no matter what.
