I do not think either scenario is good for LSU fans. Do you?


I think all scenarios for scheduling became suboptimal after expanding from 12 conference teams playing 8 games. Maintaining the division setup seems like the worst option to me. LSU would basically never play the East teams. The pod situation seems like an okay compromise, but is still kinda meh.

I can acknowledge, however, that the status quo does not work at all.

When it comes to conference realignment, there is no perfect scenario where all rivalries and traditions are maintained, every conference is geographically and competitively balanced, and all teams have a roughly equal shot at competing for a championship.

There are no perfect solutions, but my question is addressed towards LSU fans. Who do we want to see? Which teams do season ticket holders want to see?

The 16 team deal is strictly for the money. Fans have no voice. No one is going to ask us what would we like. If the money is big, it’s done deal and tradition and the fans are an after thought. We all know this and it’s why big games on Saturday night in BR are getting fewer and fewer.
