This doesn’t sound like a good move for the SBC long run.

I guess we'll see. I think, at first glance, I'm going to like it. ESPN is going to be able to take the champion (in most years, anyway) and provide a solid matchup in a good location for fans.
And, if we don't win the title, New Orleans will be waiting.
Win the title and welcome to the music bowl, or who knows where?
Weren’t you one those who kept telling everyone that the NOLA was best for us outside of one of the New Years day bowl. I’m sure we’re never getting the next stage down as those are reserved for the P5.
Finally I’ve zero confidence in our current commissioner. He makes Wrong Way Waters look like a Mensa candidate.
I said that and it still holds true when you talk about attendance. But there are also many who perceive that there are "better" bowls.
The champion will get a tough test somewhere. I think Frisco and Dallas would both be good destinations for fans. But anytime we don't win the title, we are probably headed to NO and since it's the second pick, people can't _____ about it.
I'm glad Lending Tree gets the fifth pick. I liked Mobile as a destination but the bowl people were far from being the nicest, or most competent, that I've ever been around.
I believe if this had been the case this year, the Cajuns would have played in the New Orleans Bowl.
That's what I was thinking.
I'm glad we got the opportunity to try Orlando and Mobile. If only to say we went somewhere other than New Orleans (and even won one of them, yippee!)
I love the New Orleans Bowl and they clearly love the Cajuns. If we can't be in a "better" bowl with say a 6-7 win P5 team (because that's what you're likely to get) or another strong name from the G5, then NOLA is the place for us.
I think this is great for the conference and UL.
In the best years you get the designated best bowl.
In the second best years UL gets an even better bowl.
Win win
