LSU has been very hospitable.

There's also something really interesting about 1994 and SC vs LSU.

True however if they tried to demand home uniform choice they would have looked like massive dicks.

The backstory is that from 1983-1994 the NCAA had a rule mandating that the home team wear dark colored jerseys and the road team light colored ones. This didn't affect most teams as it was mostly done that way anyway, but there were a small handful of schools that traditionally wore white at home (LSU being one of them).

The NCAA changed the rule in 1995 to allow the home team to wear what they wanted if the visiting team gave permission. The SEC took it a step farther in 1997, giving the home team choice of uniforms and the visiting team being required to wear the opposite.
