From ESPN story...
"The Gator Bowl said it was "aggressively" working with the NCAA to find a replacement team over the next few days.
Illinois (5-7), which officially was eliminated from bowl contention once all eligible teams were selected on Dec. 5, is open to the possibility of playing in a bowl game, sources told ESPN. Marshall, which lost to Louisiana last week in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, also is interested in being a replacement opponent, sources told ESPN.
"Waiting by the phone.... #ILL #famILLy," Illinois coach Bret Bielema posted on Twitter on Wednesday.
Tweeted Marshall coach Charles Huff: "Someone said one more game???....."
What about the Texas Bowl? LSUBR is prolly gonna pull out of that one.
We all say we should schedule the lower P5’s. Where here is our chance for a good payout on a neutral field and we are not going to take it even though we have the best team in school history.

Scared money don’t make money!
If Marshall gets to play this game and we don’t even try I’ll be extra ____ed at our program. Top to bottom
