Frome pure speculation to the 68 Ventures Bowl

[Turbine]

Notre Dame opts out of a bowl. That makes 3 teams. Like player opt outs, this may become the norm.

Every program that declines a bowl suffers a bit of a decline.

USC, LSU when Stovall declined and a couple others I can't think of.

Some, like LSU eventually bounced back.

Well notre dame has the history and integrity on their side to deserve right to do that

Not sure it was a bounce back as much as a bought and paid for with stolen cash complete rebuild

I was hoping for the Indy bowl against the Necksters.

So instead of giving us a matchup we would have been reved up and talking about all month they give us both matchups that niether cares one bit about.

Just looking...

The Sun Belt has 8 teams in bowl games, including JMU in the CFP.

Agreed. Great to be bowling, but Delaware and Coastal?

Good thing we accepted when we did early on or we may be looking for an opponent as GA Southern is still looking for an opponent. Wow.
Never turn down a bowl game!

It is very odd that this occurred. Why not just put Cajuns vs. Bulldogs in the Indy bowl?
Would have been many many tickets sold and both teams probably could just drive in and out. College football just is very questionable sometimes.

They have same helmets as michigan...

Actually, if my memory serves me, it's vice versa. This was one way that leather helmets were stitched together in the early days. I think I read somewhere that Delaware started painting the helmets, and Michigan copied them.

Someone should double check, I could be wrong.
