Over on the MAC board, they are saying that they want to "take over" the New Orleans Bowl, to add another tie-in (yeah right). Five MAC teams bowling this year.
Each and every SBC team needs to schedule a lousy 1-aa school in the coming years, like the MAC does, to get more bowl eligible teams.
Prairie View, Savannah State, UT-Martin, etc.
Wouldn't it be something, though, if SBC lost the N'Awlins Bowl ?
