Lsu has it listed as secn+\espn+
That means it will only be on Sec+ unless you have a provider. Been there, done that many times. The only exception is if ABC is carrying the game
FWIW the SEC wants to sell their product somewhere that costs more than $10.99 per month
Can't put a price on that weeknight exposure.
I guess we need to root for some baseball playoff sweeps to open up ESPN2 slots.
Give me your take on what that exposure does for Tech. Here's mine...
We cut one commercial (usually lame) every year to be used in these games. Sometimes we run the lame commercials from the prior year.
Viewers see the stands with a couple of thousand people in attendance which is horribly embarrassing.
ESPNU and CBSS don't catch many more viewers than an ESPN+ game. Everything is considered "streamed" now. Viewers typically have money on the game and since 2020 we have not covered the spread IF we are ever a favorite. Being a consistent underdog is not a compliment.
Finally, the "national exposure" thing has been throw around for all the years our attendance has either gone down or remained stagnant. National exposure is a bureaucratic buzz phrase.
NOTHING positive is happening with Tech athletics at the time. We are closer to a laughing stock than a respected program. Our leadership, going back to D.R. and McClelland can be blamed for that. No improvements have been made from the President down to the athletic director.
I think that if you took all of our national exposure due to this media deal and buck to McDonalds, you could get a cup of coffee.
I totally agree.
Not even a small if you add tax- Jun 2025 price- Premium Roast Coffee Small which is there old standard 1000 degree coffee is now a $1.00+ tax.
FML, we aren't even worth McDonalds coffee.... and besides being somewhat funny and a whole lot sad here, I agree that the "exposure" we get from the conference deal isn't worth being exposed.
I was assuming most reading would be getting a sr. discount . . .
Louisiana Tech Replaces Texas State in Sun Belt, Likely to Play Similar 2026 Slate - On3
Home vs. Arkansas State
Away vs. Troy
Home vs. Louisiana-Lafayette (ULL)
Away vs. Southern Miss
Home vs. South Alabama
Away vs. ULM
Home vs. East Division crossover opponent to be determined by rotation

Bring back the State Fair game with NSU and play it every year.
6 conference divisional games (3 at home)
2 conference non-divisional games (1 at home)
1 FCS game vs NSU in Shreveport
3 OOC FBS games (1-2 at home)
I think our philosophy will continue to be;
1 FCS $ game at home
1 P4 $ game on the road
1 G5 Home
1 G5 Road
The problem with moving to SBC is our regional opportunities have gotten more limited. But we need to be scheduling Texas schools: UNT, Rice, Houston, SHSU, SMU, UTSA, Texas State. I would love to be rotating between Dallas & Houston/Austin/San Antonio annually.
I think with the money poured into JAS the last 10-15 years, we don't need to play in Shreveport like we once did. What I wouldn't mind is once every 5-6 years playing a P4 game that has a sponsor that pays us and the opponent.
Shreveport is a $hit hole. No need to ever go back again unless it's for that crappy bowl game.
We have some great people who support Tech over there, but I think they know their city is bad and getting worse.
Yep, stay away from playing in Shreveport unless we are forced.
Has it officially officially been announced that we'll be in SBC next year? I know we put it on the Jumbotron. If we are still in CUSA, will have non-conference games @ USM and vs. UL-L. We'll still need another game (presumably $$$).
according to FBSchedules, here are some teams with openings (this is not the full list)
$$$ - LSU, Illinois, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, TCU, USC, Stanford
Here are G5 teams with openings: Boise, Colorado St, Fresno, Jax St, Memphis, NMSU, NIU, Texas St, UAB, UTEP, Washington St, Oregon St, Utah St.
Texas State will need an OOC game because the new Pac-8 will only have 7 conference games. Since they already have 3 OOC home games, they might be willing to start a series on the road. That would be more likely I'd think if they get 4 home Pac-8 games in 2026.
UTEP is scheduled to have 2 money games on the road (and one FCS game in the Sun Bowl). So they'd probably be looking for a home G6 for 2026.
We could stagger those two @UTEP and hosting TXST in 2026, with the swapped games at some point in the future, 2027 currently booked, but we had a lot of SB series that we'll need to replace. 2028 already has us on the road twice, so we would probably add an FCS home game but could host UTEP (who has two G6 home games on their schedule and could spare a road trip if they're willing to not play an FCS). We could return the game at Texas State anytime after that.
We'll need at least one money game either way. I doubt LSU would want us two years in a row. Stanford the best chance for a win, but probably the most expensive trip and the option with the lowest OOC-purchasing budget.
