Because fans fell far short of selling out LSU’s allotment of 16,000 tickets to the Dec. 31 game, the athletic department is currently facing an estimated $154,500 deficit from the Tigers’ trip to Atlanta.

If LSU had gone to another bowl, say the Cotton in Arlington, Texas, the school would likely have turned a profit. LSU season-ticket holders pre-ordered more than 16,500 Cotton Bowl tickets, outstripping the allotment of 12,500 that the school would have received from that game. “If we had gone to the Cotton Bowl or one of those Florida bowls,” Alleva said, “I think we would have sold out.”

Shocking. That thing was a cluster from the day it was announced.

It's because our fans are smart enough to not pay face value for tickets to an exhibition game.

LSU fans hate LSU.

Good, they deserve to, hope they learned a lesson. It was nice to see the Athletic Department get it stuck to them, after bending fans over as much as they do.

So the moral of the story is, don't get selected for the chick fil a bowl and you won't lose money. Pagin Les Miles.

Isn't that based on LSU splitting the chick-fil-a money with the SEC and not accounting for the money LSU will get from the other SEC team bowl money?

It all seems so pathetic now that we lost the game. We were too good for what?

We purchased our tickets from LSU. We are good fans.

Shocking? Wait. No it isn't. Incoming LSU has the worst fans in the NCAA...

Thanks for bringing the tards back to the rant.

So is Mike Slive and the SEC office going to reimburse LSU the lost revenue because they had to "protect Georgia"? LSU was locked into the Cotton Bowl after the Cap 1 grabbed Tx A&M, but then Mike Slive stepped in and LSU got shipped to the #6 SEC bowl slot.
Thanks Mike Slive. And while were at, thanks for the SEC East opponents given to the SEC West teams for 2013, totally equal!!

Start a 16 team playoff. We'll make millions from home games and TV revenue and have no losses for away games. frick a bowl organizer making a profit.

Fans don't want to go to a cold destination like Atlanta on New Years Eve. Orlando, Tampa or Jacksonville would have drawn a much bigger crowd of LSU fans due to the warm weather attraction.
