This is something that the SEC has been needed for quite sometime to help peak early fan interest and generate dollars. This can do nothing but help and improve LSU's preconference schedule because I assume this would maybe be played at a neutral site. Article Link
I think it would probably be a home and home type thing but could either help alot or not much at all. We played A&M this year at a neutral court and still stumbled out of the gate. But it can only be a positive for both the school and the conference.
Don't the Big 10 and ACC do this now. I pretty sure they do. If the Big 12 and SEC did this it ould be good for all teams involved.
