Isleta New Mexico Bowl: Louisiana vs TCU

[LouisianaB]

I could be wrong but I seem to remember profit sharing for bowl games didn’t start in the SBC until after our first New Orleans bowl.

This is correct.

[LouisianaB]

Crazy that you have to share "profits" with schools who are continually not in bowl games with no expenses.

All SBC teams participating in a bowl get an (1) expense supplement plus (2) reimbursement for the actual cost of transportation up to a certain amount.

I think the ticket money depends on the bowl agreement. The agreement stipulates what percentage goes to the school, and whatever the amount is, the SBC gets 50 percent.

They currently have 12 players in the portal

Wait, I'm confused.

I thought that after you entered the portal, you couldn't play.

Someone help out a senile old man here...

Pretty sure it depends on the team's policy on moving in the portal. And, if the player wants to play.

Interesting.

Given that, I would guess that in-portal players wouldn't appear in a bowl. There's the danger of injury, and the loss of potential money; and because of that, the hiring school (if there is one) might forbid it.

Finally, it's just awkward. The guy has told his team and his coaches he's leaving, it's hard to maintain a strong connection with the other players.

[NOCajun]

Well, if I was a head coach, which I'm not, I would be telling my players if they want to portal out, they wouldn't get to go to the bowl game...
