When I saw this earlier today I was a little surprised. I know it's at the NFL venue but giving rice a home game? Why?

Over 3 million bucks

Get to play in front of the largest alumni base outside of LA

More exposure in one of the best recruiting areas in the country.

Easy decision!

LSU

2017: vs. BYU
2017: vs. Syracuse
2018: vs. Miami
2019-20: vs. Texas
2021/2024: vs. UCLA
2022-23: vs. Arizona State
2027-28: vs. Oklahoma

This is why. They're playing a home-home with Rice in the same seasons that Texas and UCLA are on the schedule. Rather than scheduling some scrub or FCS team at home, they are getting paid to go to Houston, which is a recruiting pipeline. It's a win-win for LSU.
