LSU's baseball attendance. Skewed?

Doing a little random research on college baseball attendance, I've noticed something. LSU consistently schedules a noticeable amount of home games compared to the other schools. Thus padding their overall attendance.
2011: LSU 38 - Arky 31
2010: LSU 37 - Arky 38
2009: LSU 41 - Arky 31
2008: LSU 41 - Arky 32
2007: LSU 35 - Arky 31
2006: LSU 36 - Arky 28
2005: LSU 36 - Arky 28
2004: LSU 33 - Arky 28
All years except 2004 the two teams were #1 and #2 in attendance in the nation. Keep in mind these are regular season schedule numbers. Post season play does not go into these figures. Why does LSU get to schedule so many home games on a yearly basis? Since 2004, LSU has played 52 more home games than Arkansas. That's a pretty substantial figure. Does the attendance figure mean THAT much to LSU?

You're beneath LSU in every aspect of NCAA baseball. DWI

Yes. They also don't count actual turnstile data IIRC. I remember something about counting actual live attendance and adding in the season ticket holders on top.

No, it's because that son of a bitch Slive keeps fricking them on their schedule, so they do what they can to keep the games at home. It's their only recourse to fight Slive's Birmingham bullshite.

Why should LSU lose money going on the road where the stadium could be significantly smaller than Alex Box Stadium?

How many more regional and super regional games has LSU as opposed to Arky?

Maybe Arkansas should schedule more home games? 
I randomly chose to look at Auburn and Tennessee's baseball schedules in 2011 and Auburn had 35 games and Tenn. had 37. So maybe it isn't LSU that's being a bitch about the padding their attendance. Maybe it's Arkansas that's doing a shite job of making themselves competitive in the oh-so-important baseball attendance race.

LSU home games make lots of money. LSU likes money. What about this concept is perplexing to you? Do you honestly think Arkansas isn't allowed to schedule as many home games as we do or something? I think LSU usually has 7-8 home games in football and PAC12 schools usually have around 6. It's not because we are the only ones allowed. its because we stack paper when we have home games and money is what makes the world go round.
MONEY IS THE REASON... MONEY!!
