The current contract w/ LSU states a 1 and 1. By 2013 the stadium will be completely renovated and I think if capacity is expanded to 50-55k LSU will come. OU has stated that they will come and fulfill the contract no matter what.
And they do not make near the money that doormat teams make for playing the top teams.

I posted that before you modified it, it was just a quote of Stubbs.

They might come here. They do it for recruiting purposes. that way, when Les Miles is sitting in some 5 star stud's living room in Everman, he can say "and we are going to be playing right in your back yard so everyone you know can come and watch." They play here so they can come show their program off while beating the piss out of some weak little team, gaining valuable exposure in one of the hottest recruiting beds in America. And I'm surprised more teams don't do it. We tried to get a series w/ ND a few years ago. They initially said they didn't want to come to DFW (which was either stupid or a smokescreen). Then we agreed to just one up there and the AD said something to the effect of "that's not a good game for us right now given the current state of the program." I'll try to find the exact quote. But I think they just agreed to play someone at Jerry World. |

Notre Dame is playing Baylor at JerryWorld.
All this stuff you are spouting is message board conversation. "We tried to schedule them"..."They won't play us"...blah blah blah.
It is no slam on you or TCU, I see this stuff on the Arkansas boards also. Just a bunch of rumors.

Because he just found out that tu is gay.
Stop dodging the question, please show some proof that TCU gets less than NTSU.

And they do not make near the money that doormat teams make for playing the top teams. Please post some proof of this. I doubt this is true. I'm looking. I'll find something shortly. Usually these things aren't widely discussed but I know the info is somewhere. I remember when UNT first played OU the dollar amount was in the papers but I remember when they played in Austin the DMN said they are being paid an undisclosed amount. TCU had a tough time in the early part of the decade scheduling decent to good teams. They had Arizona and Northwestern but those were scheduled in the late 90s when they either sucked or were starting to get good again. TCU, then, didn't want bodybag games so they went the safe route with these teams and actually won. Starting in 2000 they actually started shopping for "bodybag" games but didn't find many takers b/c the program was getting good and it wasn't the sure-win it was just a couple years ago. The '05 game against OU was to complete a home and home from the 90s ('96, I think). I don't think they were terribly fearful of a loss but it was a lot more likely than playing NTSU or any other doormat. They were finally able to get games against top teams once they realized that a win against TCU would help their SOS and BCS ranking. TCU wanted the games as measuring sticks. The other teams wanted a good OOC opponent that would help their strength of schedule. Knowing that TCU wants the game it game the home team has more leverage in the payout. I'm not saying that TCU didn't need the money b/c all schools do, but teams like NTSU or a directional La needs it more. |

Once again, you just stated a bunch of crap with zero substance.
Give us a link.
