As many are predicting. Houston vs Louisiana in the Indy bowl still a possibility.

Waiting for the ESPN conspiracy against UL response....

Somehow I feel like ESPN is gonna do us right. I now weird right as I've shi++ed on them in the past. But they've been a huge help in getting our brand established and we have had some sold games on there network. I feel like they would be happy with a match up with Houston in the Indy

Per this link if correct the Indy Bowl by far pays out more than any bowl we have ever been to at least for 2022:

Indy Bowl payout - 2.2 million
Lending Tree Bowl payout - 1.5 million
First Responders Bowl payout - 825K
NOLA Bowl - 825K
Cure Bowl - 575K

I know the payouts are divided up b/t our SBC members, but I am curious if the school going to the actual bowl gets a higher percentage or if totals are divided evenly in the SBC b/t all the schools for all the bowl payout amounts.

It's easily the most historic and recognizable of the bowls we've been to. When I think of older, minor bowls I think Independence, Liberty, Sun, Holiday, and Tangerine (Citrus).

That would be cool. Independence Bowl has history.

Remember payouts are not guaranteed money. It's based on tickets sold. So, you may make what the bowl payout has listed, but it's doubtful. I remember that the conference used UL's profits from the early New Orleans Bowls when we made money to help the schools that lost on the deal. Conference sharing or something like that. Not sure if they still do that.

certain bowls have been known to lo-ball the payout for replacement teams not in the conference of the original tie-in

The announced payout is never the payout.

I'm not up on the playoff payout, but once you get past the traditional New Years bowls, the only real payout teams get is how many tickets they are alloted and can sell.

The payout announcement is the value of every ticket allotted.

Hopefully, we get picked soon for either Indy or Nola. We’ve got to make a concerted effort to bring as many people as possible. Let’s do this.

Mobile in the new stadium wouldn't be bad

That old stadium was a dump for sure in mobile, but the mobile downtown experience was cool. Nice that they have it in the new stadium now.

Whatever happened to the days when we would put Bowl deposits right after the time that we became bowl eligible to grasp and cash in on the excitement?
WOW

Also information needs to be put out to not buy tickets directly from the Bowl. Buy them directly from UL from UL's tickets given to them by the bowl.
