I Bowl (Shreveport) NOLA Bowl (New Orleans) Go Daddy Bowl (Mobile)

If not mistaken, bowl revenues are dispersed between all bowl participants. In a perfect world, we'd be the only participant and would keep all of our own revenues. If additional teams participate, I don't know if it's better to have one or more additional teams.

But if that opens another bowl slot for an SBC team, it's yet another mouth to feed. I'm hoping two teams make it...us to Nola...and either Troy or Arkansas State to Mobile.

How does the contribution work? Is it paid evenly to all teams in the SBC who didn't make a bowl from those that went to one? Or , is the payment made from those teams that went to bowls and distributed to every team in the conference, irregardless of whether they went to a bowl? If its the first scenario, that would be one less mouth to feed and one extra revenue source to help share in the sharing..I'm curious to know which it is.

Well, the Sun Belt made some kinda sharing rule in 2012. I am sure others can share the details.

Bowl revenue is shared for only the teams participating in bowls. From that perspective, it is better to have only us in a Bowl game. There will be at least two however as the Go Daddy in Mobile is contracted to take a Sun Belt team.

One little factoid has got me thinking right now.

If we were to go to I-Bowl, that opens up a slot for another SBC school to go bowling, as has been pointed out before.

I think that is the focus right now because nobody wants Mobile if we have other options, and it sure looks like CUSA is gonna stick UNT or MT in the NOLA Bowl.

I'll gladly take the I-Bowl versus a name school like Miami or Georgia Tech.

I thought that I heard that the Heart of Dallas bowl was talking to N Texas. That would scratch them off of the NO Bowl list. NO Bowl looks a little better now.

The very best if only two SB teams were to go bowling would be UL to NOLA & either USA/Troy to Mobile. Most tickets sold, fewest expenses. That would be if all were bowl eligible, which they are not.

More Sunbelt Teams bowling, the better as far as sharing bowl revenue right? So hopefully if we don't take the I Bowl invite, if it comes that is, another Belt School can get in?

---Wrong the more sharing the less that is kept ---are you ready for the why????? It is because the Bowls don't pay --they let your school keep ticket money which for only the Cajuns is a money maker---Expenses far exceed profit and with this in play the less schools the less the Cajuns have to bail out!!!

[Boomer]

The problem of sharing can really be exacerbated if a team were to fly to a destination---yes, or so I have read, that we need to make the necessary payments for that also!!!

[Cajun Crusader]

Just for thought. Say the scenario of us going to the I Bowl becomes reality who do we play from the ACC? UNC?

After seeing the photos of the attendance at the USA - Waaaaaahoax game Saturday, I'm not sure the Jags would make much money.
