I am not talking about the baseball team. I am talking about the university as a whole. And LSU absolutely needs more students from Texas.

Louisiana's population is declining, while Texas is exploding. LSU decision makers want to get more Texas kids enrolled to keep growing and not become stagnant.

Athletics are a great way to showcase the university. So LSU decided to push for A&M to be a permanent rival in sports because that means more games in the state of Texas.

A&M agreed because that want to be associated with a successful sports brand. Win/win for both sides.

I know fans dont like it but caring what they think went out the window years ago.

Bud, a baseball series every other year in the state of TX isn’t going to have an effect on enrollment numbers

LSU didn’t push for anything. They played A&M every other year in TX because they’re in the same division, not because of some grand plan concocted by the two schools.

If anything, A&M needed a program to replace Texas and LSU was the only program they had any real history with when they joined the SEC. Well, that shouldn’t be an issue starting next year

You’re just making up false narratives at this point
