There was an interview with Karl Benson and he said that CUSA voluntarily gave up the bowl and the SB swooped in to take it. With the bowl freeze for the next 4 years this was their only option. CUSA may be taking the long run view here and/or willing to gamble. I think there were three schools with 5-7 records that went to bowls last year. CUSA may be gambling that they can fill one of those slots. If AAC loses 2 teams to B12, then 2 bowls will open up as AAC has 8 bowl agreements for its 12 teams.

Guess who's holding are the cards. If they're holding the cards then why were there bowls with G5 vs P5 teams last year? If they make their bowls exclusive they won't have enough teams to be bowl eligible. There are too many bowls, numbnuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingGiantFan Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Just wait. The NCAA will eventually authorize bowl participation for any team which wins a game against a FBS opponent. But somebody will still bitch when they're not invited. "We should go! Yeah we didn't win any games in FBS but we beat TWO FCS teams!" Boom goes the dynamite.

G-5/P-5 Bowl Match-Ups are trending down. If they make their bowls exclusive they won't have enough teams to be bowl eligible. |---> The number of bowl eligible teams is independent of how many G-5/P-5 Bowl Match-Ups there are. The number of teams at .500 is the same regardless of how many G-5 teams play P-5 teams in their bowl. There are too many bowls, numbnuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With public pressure the BCS was eventually forced to allow Utah, BSU, Hawaii and TCU in their BCS bowls. We won them all except for Hawaii, so now they started a playoff system that locks us out, but they threw us a bone with the access bowl to silence us and the critics. If they had their way they wouldn't have created that bowl. Try as they will, they can't get rid of us. America likes underdogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got finished early the first day and turned on the local sportstalk station in my rental car to hear that fans were being allowed in to watch that afternoon's practice. Having nothing better to do I went over there and had no problem finding parking since school didn't open until the following week. The first thing I noticed on walking in the stadium was that virtually no fans were seated. Was the practice so exciting that everybody was standing and cheering? Guess again. The aluminum seats were so hot you risked burning your ass if you sat on them. That won't be a problem in December but it can get chilly in the desert during winter nights so I have to wonder how COLD those seats might be if the game wasn't played in the afternoon. Boom goes the dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I would bet that it will beat the hell out of the 6" of snow on top of 2" of ice on top of the metal bleachers I sat on at the Potato Bowl a couple of years ago...
