But these neutral site games, in primetime on ESPN, are all the rage right now. Playing in those keeps you in the national spotlight and in the forefront of recruits' minds. Kids get excited to play in a venue like AT&T Stadium and that opportunity is a great selling point to high school athletes.

100k people at Tiger Stadium for a big OOC night matchup with Miami would draw as much national spotlight and you cannot convince me that a big night game at Tiger Stadium wouldn't help recruiting far more than a neutral site game in Arlington or Houston.

LSU will always have big night games in Death Valley. They may not always have the opportunity to play a major neutral site game whenever they want to.

That's not the issue. It's about getting a big matchup and not losing any athletic department revenue. We get a huge payout from these games and don't have to give up an away game to do it. If we did a home and away with Miami, we'd get one year of a huge payout and 1 year of nothing.
