It amazes me that LSU fans bitched for years they weren't on the big boy stage with enough national televised games, now probably the same fans bitch b/c basically we are getting too much pub


We're not happy unless we're bitching. If we're not bitching something is seriously, seriously wrong.

CBS's nationally exposed games brings million dollars of revenue for the school paid directly to the university, and millions of dollars of PR for the school.


Are YOU that dumb? CBS pays THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE for the TV rights to broadcast their games. They don't pay the school DIRECTLY. I couldn't care less what network it is on ABC, CBS or ESPN. College Football is all about tradition. I want bowl games on New Years Day and I want goddamn night games in Tiger Stadium!!!

I agree.

But what I don't understand is why doesn't CBS doesn't push back against ABC, and try to get miles out of the SEC rep for more than just one game a year.

Why do they elect to stick their choice game in the middle of the day rather than primetime?

Did you take a look at the ratings for the Florida/Alabama game played at night? Dominated the ratings! The revenue is given to the conference not the school as TV rights are negotiated as a package deal and the money is distributed by the conference to the schools. Whether the game is played during the day or the night (where networks like CBS get most of their advertising dollars) does not make the school any more or any less revenue.




Is this truth? I've been wanting to ask this all day, but I figured these know it all types would shoot me down

This.

Nationally televised coverage on a major network is a GOOD thing in every aspect. Just think of what recruits are thinking when they see LSU on tv every single week.

I just think it's laughable that yall are bashing people that are mad that we don't get to play night games? I love LSU. I love night games. I wish we had one (SEC) this year. I don't think it's asking too much to have at least one. It's not like the petitioners are asking for all games to be at night TV and $ be damned.

Are you?

What difference does it make that the check comes from the SEC? The check from CBS still comes, does it not?

With all of the money LSU gets from CBS, the FULL BAND should go to any game they want.

His reaction is the typical liberal response to someone who disagrees with them and thinks differently. Call them names and shout them down.

I thought I remember reading that earlier. Don't buy it my man. A portion of the LSU band will be there.

It wasn't so long ago and we'd be lucky if LSU even had 2 nationally televised games per season. Some people refuse to be happy.
