Re: LSU Spring Game at Southern

NCAA rule prohibits Spring Game in location outside of where regular season games are played. Exception granted to play at SU. NOLA, Shreveport and others were rejected.

LSU was lucky Southern was available and a willing host.

Wasn’t that put in place because of Michigan trying to play their’s off campus/use as a recruiting tool a few years back?

It makes sense. If we were allowed to go to NOLA, Houston, etc to have our spring game it would have opened the door for every Bama, Michigan, Georgia to do field work during their spring game and move theirs to a recruiting hot bed.

I get it.

Maybe so, but that time of year is a little warm to be wearing a bullet proof vest.....HARD PASS.

Miami hurricanes played their spring game in Orlando. FIU’s campus is located 15mins away and FAU’s campus is located 35mins away. They played the game 4 hours away. Moscona needs better info.

It'll get broadcast on the SEC network repeatedly.

I mean they could have just done it at the practice facility. It's going to air live on SEC network or ESPN so either way it's all the same to me.
