2019 Bowl Talk

The idea of the Belk Bowl would have had more legs if the league had six bowl eligible teams. Not to say it can't happen. It would require someone agreeing to go out west to play in Arizona that might otherwise be in the Belk. Not an easy negotiation.

And, you can forget the Cajuns and Tech. Or Cajuns and Southern Miss. I said a couple of days ago WKU is headed to New Orleans. I stand by that.

That would be great if somehow we could work a basketball doubleheader. Playing wku as double digit favorites isn’t overly exciting

western kentucky? for football? why? Nobody wants to see that.

The SBC champ deserves better than that. NOLA is one the premier Bowl destinations. There has got to be a way to have a tie-in for the NOLA Bowl again with either the MWC or AAC. Better yet, just make it at-large.

I hope the conference works behind the scenes to avoid it. The Sunbelt could make a special allowance to the team being sent out west to Zona. One thing we have going for us is the 2 big dogs in conference would be all in. The blood clots in football just dont seem worthy of our conference champion.

I've never been further west than San Antonio or so, so I'd personally be pretty excited to take a trip to Arizona. I'd understand the team wanting to opt for Mobile for proximity and ticket sales, but I probably wouldn't be able to attend. School's back in for everybody at that point, so I could see that having an adverse affect on sales across the board.

NOBODY wants to go to freakin', crime ridden Mobile, in crappy weather, to see us play a freakin' MAC school. NOBODY.


If we can't play in NOLA, I say play the best competition we can. That would be in Arizona.

Conference really needs to work something out where our champion plays the champion of another G5 conference, barring one of the conferences’ champs getting a NY6 Bowl.

If we’re in NOLA, I’ll be there, but the SBC champ going against the 5th place USA team is dogcrap.

Our new commishiner has been silent and quite. In fact, I have not heard from him regarding squat. Is he getting paid for doing squat? At least the last one seemed to be more on front lines.

This commissioner will not do anything so get used to it

CUSA champion chooses where they want to play then after that it has no rhyme or reason

NOLA has a Payout of $925,000 Only First Responders Bowl pays out more for CUSA (outside of the independent bowl)

[MelRock]

Next season ESPN will make the matchups for the bowl games according to conference tie in for those games. ESPN will have the say of what 2 teams out of CUSA and SBC play in NOLA and so on.

Is NOLA bowl an actual payout or is it a "payout" based on ticket sales with a ceiling amount?...$925,000

I ask as this was a hot topic back when we participated in our first NOLA bowl and it was learned that a payout was based on ticket sales, not a straight cash payment. Wondering if that has changed?

Edit: Went back and looked. Appears that it had been a $500,000 payout if minimum numbers were met and a split of tic sales beyond the minimum.

I believe it is that way with all of the "minor" bowls. Payout based on sales by the school, not a guarantee.
