Yes, I think it would be better. Later in the year, plus the time if day for Nola stinks this year. Also the future of at large bowl bids seems to be between us and MAC, we need to beat them for that reason. I'm not sure why they get more at large consideration, it seems like politics to me. The big ten must advocate for them whereas.....you know.
A Sunday night at 8pm isn't exactly great time slot... At least not for attendance in an outdoor game in January.Quote:

Nola all the way. Even if attendance drops 10k BC of kick off time its still 10k more than we would bring to mobile
Man, it's one of those things where there's really no logical reason for us to want to play in the Go Daddy Bowl. It would be less special, probably have a lesser opponent, fewer fans, less money, worse venue, rough weather, etc. But I guess a change of pace isn't always bad.
Yeah, seems like a Sunday night game would be way worse for attendance than a Saturday morning game.Quote:

I would still like the Texas Bowl...but I doubt that comes open. NOLA is gonna be ruined this year with the Saints being greedy buttholes and not being flexible with their schedule. Go Falcons.
Saints have zero to do with that schedule, espn keeps adding bowls on that day and they all rotate time slots.Quote:

Or the freezing rain? Or both simultaneously? Then had to walk a mile through the roughest neighborhoods in Mobile without lights & cops on every street corner just to get back to your car? Let someone else have the glory of the Go Daddy Bowl. Besides, I'd rather watch the commercials for that game, than the game itself.
Nola Bowl - $500,000
GoDaddy - $750,000
Indy Bowl - $1,150,000
With no more BCS. The Group of 5 (Big East, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt ) are slated to split somewhere around $95 million. Depending on how the Sun Belt wants to split the revenue it is VERY possible that bringing a lesser crowd to Mobile or Shreveport could be more financially sound. We should infer that expenses for the team would be roughly the same amount. I don't see us flying to Mobile or Shreveport and the hotel accommodations should be roughly the same.
New Orleans Bowl #1
Everything else is a distant #2.
I'm planning a New Orleans Bowl, Pelican game, Saints game weekend.
None of those are guarantee returns, you have to sell the tickets and if anyone thinks we sell as many tickets Mobile than NOLA, well keep waiting on the Easter Bunny and for ULM to lose so that it hurts us in football.
all we have to sell is our allotment. selling over that, depending on what percentage we get, could be a none issue.Quote:

We're not starting up the "splitting revenue" again are we?
You sell tickets, you get to keep a percentage ... that is the "revenue".
Not for Shreveport, those numbers are for the conference tie ins...which the sunbelt is not. For example, hypothetically if Michigan were to go to the New Orleans bowl, it won't be for $500k that I can promise. They would get more $ than we would just because of the name and viewers they bring to the table.Quote:

Agree with everything you said.
Except commercials. I hate commercials.
