LSU has generated an eye-opening $23M over the past nine years thanks to neutral site FB matchups. However, The Advocate's Kubena notes the ebb & flow of FB schedules has tilted back to campus-based big-name kicks to pacify season ticket holders, but also to take advantage of Tiger Stadium's raucous atmosphere. (Side note, it would be quite interesting to see a matrix of future neutral site games & determine if the home games trend will impact cities like Houston, Arlington, Atlanta, Orlando, Charlotte, D.C., Chicago & others. Paging Dave Brown.) Tonight's tilt with Miami (FL) will earn the Tigers $4.75M. ESPN Director of Programming & Acquisitions Dargis: "We love it on the programming side, because it helps what is typically one of our biggest weekends of the year: Kickoff weekend. Thursday through Monday night—a five-day extravaganza for us. No NFL competition, and we have the stage all to ourselves." More financial figures: The Canes get $2.375M, ESPN has the rights to get an on-air title sponsor, the Dallas Cowboys get all tickets, concessions, game merch & local sponsorship revenue. More.

Southern Miss opened its 2018 FB campaign with a home win over Jackson State that drew a crowd of 29,176 (no word on the scanned number). FB ticket sales are one way Golden Eagles AD Gilbert believes his department can accelerate its budget that's currently at the bottom of Conference USA. Gilbert also points to an enrollment of around 15K as much smaller than many CUSA peers who can generate greater student fees as a result. In addition to ticket sales, donations & away game guarantees are other avenues to cash crucial to leadership in Hattiesburg as the latter also brings brand-building benefits. All that said, Gilbert contends, "Go look at what our revenue is versus — pick a school in our league that is more resourced than we are — and then look at where they are competitively to where we are competitively. I’m very proud of where we stack up with that." (link)

Notable PR & Marketing expert Favorito pens on the growing profile of esports in the collegiate arena. 1) On the competitive landscape on college campuses, "It's already there folks."; 2) The “dream” of thousands flocking to “esports arenas” for season long games, is years away, if it ever happens and should be just that, a dream.; 3) This is about enrollment; 4) STEM, STEM, STEM; 5) Academic institutions better learn and listen, or they will crash and burn. Saying we have “esports” is like saying we have a deli, or we like the Olympics. Few school administrations have taken the time to understand yet what games have vibrant communities on campus and which do not.; 6) (There can be a) Crossover to mainstream athletics; 7) Stop acting like scholarships for esports is so crazy; and, 8) There are going to be questions about shooter games, about drug testing (an issue with ADD medication in competitive esports), gambling, match fixing, recruitment violations, kids failing out of school, schools under delivering, issues with gender balance and on and on and on. What schools need to do is make sure they UNDERSTAND what the issues are as much as the opportunities. Solid read. (link)

Also Noticed: Tennessee and West Virginia each earned $2.5M from yesterday's game in Charlotte and because attendance surpassed 66K, both received a $500K bonus. (link); Ole Miss FB HC Luke picked up a $150K bonus for the Rebels' win against Texas Tech yesterday. His deal calls for that amount for any regular-season win against a P5 opponent not in the SEC and for each win in the league beyond three SEC victories. If Ole Miss sold its 15K allotment to yesterday's game, it gets $2.5M for playing at NRG Stadium. (link); In 1969 there were 212 Division I Men's Gymnastics programs, with UIC announcing its cut, there are just 15 left. Women's numbers have gone from 179 in 1981 to 61 programs today. (link); Here's a look at the pro wrestling match that North Texas staged after its win over SMU. (link, link, link); Seemed like a fair & balanced question from ESPN's Taylor on Alabama's QB situation. Crimson Tide HC Saban less than pleased. (link); Check out Oklahoma FB's Jordan cleats. (link)
