Guess I've missed those annual LSU/ULL games and the classic LSU/ULM showdown in Shreveport every year.

Arkansas (Very) Auburn (Very Nearly)

Alabama public schools are all state funded, obviously. So why have one state school (Alabama) pay another state school (Troy) money?
So Alabama's athletic department is state funded? At LSU, the athletic department is successful enough to regularly writes checks back to the university. Also, the money LSU uses to fund its athletics (i.e. football) is self-generated, and does not come from state funds that are allocated for academics.
quote:
Troy could go to Georgia or Florida and get the same amount of money to play them, but it wouldn't be costing the state of Alabama.
LSU takes a different approach because it chooses to spread the wealth its athletic department takes in among in-state schoos. Tulane, ULL, ULM and La. Tech all rotate onto LSU's schedule on a yearly basis, and if one of them wants to schedule another FBS team, and make even more money, then they're welcome to it.
Bottom line -- LSU isn't afraid to schedule in-state schools. The result is its fans don't have to make up shitty excuses and pretend they don't schedule in-state schools because of "money".

That's because you don't know much about LSU's scheduling. But, don't hold your breath on seeing LSU play ULM in Shreveport. It apparently went completely over your head, but the Sunbelt Conference schools generally don't draw crowds the way SEC teams do so you won't see many (not all) SEC teams traveling to play them. (Its about the money)

When Skip Bertman was our AD, he had the complete opposite viewpoint.

I don't think state funds go to any AD in Alabama(the state).
"Subsidized" AD's mean from student fees.

keep lurking big boy. The Shreveport comment is in reference to Arkansas playing ASU in Little Rock. If you can't make those parallels, then that's your prob.
I know LSU plays the in state schools about once every 10 years, the annual game comment is about those that suggest we run from playing Astate every year. I would love the skulldrag them but it's a lose/lose/lose situation for tFlagship.
keep lurking.

LSU used to play a lot of in state schools.
Skip >>>> Alleva
Thankfully we have yet to find out if Alleva is any good at selecting our next head football coach.
I have little to no confidence in Alleva.

I don't get it.
We're playing ULL to open the season next year.

Will Bama now drop Auburn off the schedule to increase the value to the State?
