re: P5 schools scared to play ULL? (LSU related)

I do kind of feel for schools like ULL. With many sports putting such an emphasis on OOC scheduling and RPI, P5 schools are going to give fewer opportunities to smaller conferences than they already do. The Big Ten has already mandated that their members schedule at least one P5 opponent outside of the league for football.

That said, it has nothing to do with being scared. It has to do with protecting own self-interests. ULL would do the exact same thing if hell froze over and they joined a P5 conference.
