There has to be cash involved or this was an awful deal. 2 for 1 with NC State? They aren’t Miss State.

Another bad part is that we get the last game, so they can easily buy us out without coming to Ruston.

From the balcony it looks like a bad deal -

My guess is they never come to Ruston and we get in the neighborhood of a $800k to $1 million for going there twice

does that include the buyout?
Hopefully the buyout is $1 million.

It is amazing how we never announce financial details around these 2 for 1 agreements our AD loves so much. It is not difficult to find $1.2M-$1.5M game guarantees for single road games that enable us to host a much cheaper opponent OR TWO.

But the basic transactions are like the ones Farmer negotiated while serving as Louisiana-Lafayette’s athletics director from 2011 through 2016. In 2016, he scheduled a game at Mississippi for November that will give Louisiana-Lafayette $1.525 million. Two years earlier, he had arranged for the Ragin Cajuns to play at Texas A&M in mid-September for $1.25 million. Those two games will account for for 11% of Louisiana-Lafayette’s operating revenue in 2017-18, athletics department spokesman Matt Sullivan said.

This is the model under which eight schools affiliated with the Big Ten, Southeastern or Pac-12 conferences are paying at least $1 million to a season-opening opponent from one of the FBS conferences outside the Power Five. Altogether, there are at least 26 games this season in which a Power Five school is set to pay $1 million or more to an opponent.

I like the deal a little better.

Tech will be guaranteed $1.1 million for its 2021 visit to N.C. State, a fair market value meeting before the teams begin a home-and-home series 2024 and 2025. To make room for that road game, Louisiana Tech athletic director Tommy McClelland told the News-Star Monday that the moved the 2021 home date with Baylor to Week 3 of the 2023 season.

Decent deal.

Our FMV is only $1.1-million? Weak.

I like it as well though I wish the return game was the second in line.

Can't be too critical as we didn't return to play Cal per the one and one.

Very. It should be over 1.5 minimum.

Horrible deal, but you like it?

Cal has nothing to do with this deal. We don't know what that cost us and never will w/out an FOIA request.

Moved a home game vs. Baylor back two years.... traded a HOME game for a ROAD game.

We are hamstrung by our Southland Conference AD. Who, BTW, also views our game vs. the tiggers as our Super Bowl. Yeah, baby!

I don't mean's we get NOTHING for the 2nd and probably a minimum buy-out for the Ruston game...

Horrible scheduling move
