I would like to see what positive spin the Sun Belt puts on the Bowl selection debacle. Seems there are a lot of questions. Why FAU (4th place) over UL (2nd place)? What happened to the "iron clad" contract with the Independence Bowl that would have prevented a 6-6 MAC school being selected over a 6-6 Sun Belt school? What role did the Sun Belt office have in the Bowl selections? What did the UL athletic department do over the last several days with the various Bowl committees? Were the players and coaches informed that UL had been selected to a Bowl? If so, who told them that and why? Was Tech involved in the selection of the Indy Bowl opponent? If so, what was that involvement? Why would the Indy Bowl (without a title sponsor) pass on a school that would have sold over 20,000 tickets and been a boon to the local economy? Why would a struggling Bowl cut it's nose despite it's face? Does the Independence Bowl receive any state funding? If so, the Acadiana delegation should put a stop to it!

The selection of Northern Illinois makes absolutely no sense!!! I cannot comprehend that selection on a logical basis. Before I totally write off anything from North Louisiana, I have to know if Tech was actually involved. If so, how paranoid and short sighted they have become!
