I can’t seem to get the link to the Advocate article from their app. But she says she has talked to Tate about playing them in TS next year and having proceeds from the game go to Southern to help them establish an NIL program for their players.

I mean it sounds like a cool one-off idea, but I don’t see how it happens logistically. We thought the floor was slippery at the tournament earlier this year? I can’t imagine the court being playable outside in Louisiana unless they used some sort of non-wood surface which I’m sure would go against NCAA standards. Plus there is the weather factor, and the logistics of this happening during football season (unless they scheduled it during SEC play somehow).

Just thought it was would be way to difficult to pull off.

Or. They can play it in the middle of the day in October. Don't overthink it. If the queen wants it, i'm sure she'd be able to get it baw!

Bad Idea , only because the injury factor

You know we might have a couple Slip-Downs and Collect

Would LSU be liable if they are sponsoring it ?

She wasn't demanding. It was just an idea trying to help colleges in Louisiana get $$ and exposure. She wants to help colleges in Louisiana. She just happen to say something to Prez Tate about it, an idea, not really serious discussion (yet). It probably won't happen due to timing, logistics, BR weather, cost, etc. It would be a major undertaking, but would be kinda cool.

So basically the same thing as every OOC tournaments in the islands where half the players are slipping all over wet floors with the 8 years olds on the sidelines coming in to wipe off the floor

It would be great if fans filled tiger stadium like Nebraska did for the volleyball game but that’ll never happen

If we hold any kind of fundraiser to create a slush-fund for NIL payments, I want it to be for LSU athletes, no-one else

If you're going to play someone outside in Tiger Stadium, please not Southern.
What's the point of beating Southern 120-19 with
102,000 in the stands.
There has to be a team, somewhere between Southern good...and UCONN good...let's pick something in the middle

Why not? It's an OOC women's basketball game.

To be fair, Nebraska is a regular volleyball powerhouse and they have an extremely dedicated fanbase. Looks easier to pack 85k then 102k

Why don't they do it in Mumford? I'm sure people would drive across town to see it.
