Mississippi State in the 'Dome – Financial Details

[BrockMeaux]

Do you think the difference could be recruiting opportunities and marketing/publicity?

Again, lesson from the Boise State game: what good are you doing putting a shellacking out there for the world to see? I'm not at all saying we shouldn't embrace the opportunity to play up. But we bent over backwards to put Boise State on as many screens as possible at 11 AM. You think that did us much good from a recruiting/marketing/publicity standpoint? We're likely just plain bending over the barrel to have Mississippi show us the 50 states in the Superdome when we could at least sell out a premium priced ticket and keep the gate at Cajun Field.

Did we bend over backwards? Everything I heard and read said we were forced that time, or 2:30

What are we getting paid to visit Mississippi State? I didn't see it in the article.

Not addressed. Doubt we're getting a dime.

I was thinking regular SEC payday, but now I'm reading nothing with a virtual split in the Dome.

Unless this is to lock down the Super Dome for an annual home game on National television, this seems like an unfair price for UL to pay.

But like I say, this is what I am reading, this is not something I know.

Article was written in a manner to make everything look like this is a great thing for the university. We are all reading the article for what its worth but we understand the situation with this administration. We read between the lines. Others read the article for what its worth and think this is an awesome deal.

The American Sports Network dictated the time. UL could do nothing about it. According to Farmer, TV may cause an earlier kickoff for the stAte game in November.

Needs to be an afternoon kickoff regardless.

Actually, if we buy our own production equipment then there is something we could do about it. We could then sell the rights to our games that aren't picked up by the flagship ESPN stations. We must provide WatchESPN with content for free, but we sell the content to other providers. Right now ESPN sells our content to Raycom or ASN and we don't get crap.
