_ A huge majority of their athletic budget comes from student fees.

BTW, anyone notice that Dave LaMont, who had the epic meltdown for FAU earlier this year, is the PBP guy for tonight's game. _

I believe the bulk of FIU's athletic budget is from student fees. (Have to look up exact number.) A bonus of having them with a 40,000+ enrollment.

ESPN probably had those audio issues early in the broadcast to see if Dave would have another meltdown.

Great job FIU and a nice win! Probably one of the better bowl games so far this season.

Just to add a little more insight to the FIU enrollment topic:
FIU consists of two different campuses that are pretty far apart and is a major commuter school.

One thing I did not realize is that the MAC had 6 bowl eligible teams, but only 4 went bowling, they actually had the only two bowl eligible teams this year to stay at home during bowl season.

Western Michigan was 6-6 albeit that one of those wins was vs Nichols State, who I could actually see being left out.

and

Temple who was 8-4, with wins over UConn and Army. According to one article they were considered for the New Orleans Bowl, but Ohio was chosen instead because of there head to head victory vs Temple a 31-23 victory late in the season.

The others were Northern Illinois who walluped Fresno State, Ohio who was dimantled by Troy, Toledo that lost in the most excited bowl game of the season to FIU last night and Miami (Oh) who will play Middle Tennessee in an upcoming bowl game.

SBC in contrast only had 3 bowl eligible teams and so far is 2-0. We really need to have Middle beat Miami (Oh) to finish the bowl season 3-0 and increase the exposure and respect level of the conference outside of our walls.

Geaux SBC!!!! Next year lets make it 4 bowl teams and one of them be UL in the New Orleans Bowl, if FIU can win the conference their is no reason we can't in 2011.

We are taking this show to "BROADWAY" next year......

Not Broadway... "POYDRAS"!!

Obviously a play on words with what could be our starting QB next year Terrance "Broadway", but yes, maybe he can rename himself Terrance Poydras. How about a compromise with Terrance "Broad Street".

I do believe the band should learn "The Drifters/George Benson's" hit song "On Broadway" in the not to distant future, though.

How about we take this "New Smash BROADWAY Hit" to Poydras next year?

You guys are naturally assuming that Broadway would automatically be our starting QB next year assuming he's ruled eligible. However, I do not think it is as clear as some will likely think. We have a lot of experience coming back at the position next year along with a nice talent in Gautier to compete in the spring and fall for that spot. I do not think that Broadway is the default #1 going into that period and he's going to have to win a very competitive QB battle to get the job.
