Of course. But people are ignoring the extremely fluid and complicated nature of scheduling. Plans are made years in advance and very often change, and you have to scramble. There are conflicts that arise involving other teams' schedules and our schedules. I promise you we aren't the only teams scheduling FCS teams (or non power 5) and I also promise you that the AD isn't doing it just to piss you off.

Just don't act like everybody and their mom is scared to play us at home because that just isn't true.

Alleva loves playing in these neutral site games in Texas. Call a spade a spade.

I agree to a point....it IS all about the $ now but, at some point the Ath. Admin. simply has to start thinking about the paying and attending fans !
More neutral site games,more shitty home OOC games, more season ticket price increases,less parking,more marginal concessions,less "use" of video boards to actually SHOW the ATTENDING fans, what else is going on in the conference/nation via video hi-lites,more things to entice people to come to and stay at the games...shall I go on ?
Granted, a few baby steps have been made i.e. great chance the bulk of our home games will be at nite { remember all the morons who claimed this could not happen because of TV contracts ?...Well what happened ? Aleva finally stood up and demanded something be done to protect some of LSU's traditions....suddenly the SEC is going to help..LOL...contracts ARE a negotiation by definition...about time the admins got off their keisters !!!
