How would that be possible if you are hoping to actually host some OOC games?

You are right, with Louisiana being stuck in a no pay conference it is impossible to reach their financial potential.

Not sure I'm following here. You are saying we should get $6 million in OOC payouts each year which would mean we'd have to play four road OOC games every year against P5 money bags. What does our conference have to do with those OOC games?

You forget.

I think Louisiana needs to be independent to reach its full financial potential.

That would also make Louisiana the first name on the docket for any expanding league that actually pays its members to be members.

The money Louisiana gets from the Sunbelt doesn't even cover SBC road costs.

Do we have some independent verification on all this?

LOL

That question has so many sides it looks like you put up a stop sign.

ULM received a combined $3.2 million in road revenue last year. Louisiana's appearance fee should be a worth a lot more.

1 - That's not how it works.

2 - I have no desire to watch us go get our brains beat out in Tuscaloosa or Columbus when at this stage of our football program we have legit shots to win on the road vs. Florida State, Minnesota and Mizzu.

I don't want their schedule but there are 60+ P5 schools desperately doing everything in their power to stay home OOC.

There is a bus load of money to be earned beating opponents on the road.

No I don't forget which is why I'm asking considering you seem to want to play the majority of your independent schedule on the road getting ass pounded by P5 teams. Also, please tell what money you are thinking the conference should pay us? We get revenue sharing from the television contracts but honestly, is CUSA or AAC's television contracts that much better than ours? If we are on the rise along with the rest of our conference, wouldn't that generate more tv dollars? We don't become attractive to bigger conferences by playing P5 ridden schedules every year.

33% of you games is not a majority and it certainly isn't "ridden."

[zephyr]

If you want at least $6 million in payouts, yeah, its the majority.

[CajunVic]

It is all a numbers game. How many of the 60 mentioned will pay in the $1.5mm range, very few.

Also, if we are going to continue to try to boost our home schedule with home and home exchanges, then those will be minimal pay games if any pay at all.

So, with those two limitations, what is a realistic goal for annual payouts from our 3 OOC away games each year?
