MWC fans can vacation in SD, LV, LA, SF, Ha, Sea, Tahoe, and all the western ski resorts, with their vacation time and dough..Shrevetown doesn't excite a left coaster.
ACC fans don't even attend regular season games in Miami, UNC played in Charlotte the other day in a half-empty stadium with empty seats at midfield, BC is a long ways from Shreveopolis,etc..This isn't gonna go well.
Then again the positive, it's not like SEC schools have ever enjoyed their season ending up as "Weed Eater Bowl" quality, and ATM, TT, etc..haven't exactly overwhelmed either in their desire to make the trip. Thus a change offers a fresh opportunity.
Still, it's stupid and sad, that the SEC and Big-12 abandon a nice partial conference border area like Shreveport, when it provides some decent coverage and exposure for their programs at their conference's borderline proximity, and of late on an isolated college tv game date.
And for a few days, Shreveport offers a nice game trip of gaming, food, bars, restaurants,etc..
