I know Ms. State did it to us to start the 2007 season in Starkville on a Thursday night.
All I can say is that it did not turn out well for Ms. State that night.

Bonus questions: How would LSU react if a team required them to wear the purple on the road? Has this ever happened?
Yes it has happened. As mentioned before, both teams must agree on this. In the early '80s the NCAA began requiring home teams wear their colors at home.
In the '90s Denardo petitioned the NCAA (as part of the bring back the magic campaign) to wear whites at home. The NCAA said that the visiting school had to agree.
Consiquently, Vandy, whom LSU had hired Denardo away from, and had to come to BR that season, refused. So, Denardo had gold jersey made and is the only time I can recall the Tigers wearing gold.
Also, a season or two later, Spurrier agreed to let LSU wear whites at home if they could do the same for the their home game. These are 2 instances I can recall.

I don't think they can be required to wear purple on the road. I believe the home team is required to wear their colored jerseys, unless the visiting team agrees to wear their colored jerseys.

Good info in thread. Bonus questions: How would LSU react if a team required them to wear the purple on the road? Has this ever happened?
Oregon St. forced us to wear them at home in 2004 and Miss St. did the same in 2007 on the road.
