New Orleans Bowl

1. We don't have a tie in to the texas bowl
2. That is the payout agreed upon by the conferences that are tied in, we wouldn't get that much In the crazy miracle we would get an early invite
3. We were in talks with the independence bowl but the Nola bowl paid us more... The payout for the independence bowl is 1.1 million..... Explain that

Those payouts are when a conference member with a tie-in is playing. When you have non tie-in teams, the pay out is negotiated. We were not offered 1.1 million from the Independence bowl and would probably not get the same from the Texas bowl either.

How did the Nola Bowl pay us more than the 750 thousand, they must of gave us some of East Carolina's since they did not sell that minimum to get the full payout!

We sold more than our allotment and we negotiated more money for additional ticket sales. It was much less than our original allotment but was still enough to make us money.

No we did not get the ECU tickets, we just got more of the tickets not reserved for the schools. UL sold more than 21K tickets, I am thinking around 23 plus. All that money went to UL, until Benson and the rest of the SBC welfare mothers took a cut. The net effect was we lost a lot of the profit we made the prior year with even more tickets sold though UL.

I know how it works, explain that was rhetorical. I don't understand what other people don't understand about how it works. They just yell out the words "better bowls" and "higher payout" but don't know how you get to that point. People don't understand tie ins and contracts.
