How does this affect the Bowls?
Nothing. ECU to Liberty Bowl. Tulsa to GMAC.Quote:

First they want Memphis. Then they want NC State, then Notre Dame. Now Tulsa.Quote:

Don't see how that would even be possible. CUSA has 6 bowl tie-ins and 6 eligible teams. Wouldn't CUSA will be in the same situation as the Belt in regards to sending a 6-6 team to a primary bowl to replace Tulsa.Quote:

GMAC, Armed Forces, and St. Pete haven't made their selections.
Memphis (6-6), Houston (7-5), and Tulsa (10-3) still need to be placed in bowls. It's been hinted at that Memphis will go to St. Pete. Likely for Houston to go to Armed Forces (in Fort Worth) and Tulsa to GMAC (as CUSA #2).
And you would actually believe the Techsters???
It's not about who we want, it's about who is a possibility. I-Bowl has had meetings with Banowski and some possibilities are being discussed. Had Tulsa won, they would've been in the Liberty bowl. Now they "fall" to GMAC. Only thing is, they were there last season and didn't bring anybody. St. Pete is still open to a trade (for Memphis) and now GMAC is more open for a trade than they would've been had ECU lost.
Nothing is "done" yet, but CUSA to Indy possibilities are expanding. It used to be Memphis only. Now Tulsa is a possibility.
Good, because it looks like you will get W.Michigan. Best of Luck!Quote:

Better get with your contacts my friend. The top two on the list will not come, NC State or Notre Dame. So that leaves W.Michigan or N.Illinois. Again, Tech got it wish to not play a Sun Belt program. Bring the blue tarps buddy!LOL!!!!Quote:

They've got just as good a chance as every other bowl with an open slot. WMU will be forced on somebody and it won't have anything to do with the wishes of the bowl. All that to say, Tech's opposition to a sunbelt team will have nothing to do with where WMU goes.Quote:

I would think they will not travel well outside of Michigan. I don't think we would travel well outside of a 8 hour drive. WMU in Shreveport? They would be begging us to go to Shreveport.Quote:
