Not too different than what LSU and Tulane attempted to do in the mid 2000s.
Skip Bertman did a lot of great things as AD, but this was not one of them. It started as a 10 year, home and home series. One of the first things Alleva did when he was hired was to get LSU out of the deal. It didn't make sense financially to play Tulane in New Orleans every other year. Tulane got pissed at the idea of coming to BR every year, and LSU bought them out of the contract.

Not really concerned if it made financial sense. They're our rival and I really wish we played them annually. But just as importantly I wish they took athletics seriously enough that it would be a good series. College football is alll about financial sense now and it's been taking out a lot of the fun for close to a decade.
