re: why would A&M willingly substitute a premier power 5 OOC game for a cupcake at the bottom

False equivalency. Tulane doesn't historically dominate LSU.

We wouldn't drop the Miami game because it pays like a bowl game.

But we would schedule Tulane every year if they played us on our terms.

We have the leverage. Tulane knows this. Our last series with them was when they agreed to give us 3 home games in exchange for one game in the Dome. We just told them to piss off in baseball after getting fed up with them jacking up ticket prices when they host us.

Just like we had the leverage with Aggy and told y'all we would play on our terms. And you did. You came running to us to save you from your big bro. We said "Sure, we'll be your new big bro if you need a safe space". And here we are.

Someday maybe all that oil money will buy Aggy some leverage so you don't have to play road games in Lafayette and Ruston.
