NO LIKE NEW SBC RULE ( Revenue Sharing )

[covcaj]

Actually, they can't.

So the only thing you could find from Lake Charles was one single blog entry from an obscure AM radio station? I'm sure there are plenty of stories about the Cajuns this week in New Orleans and Eastern Carolina. Do you want to add those markets to your imaginary list too?

Look dude, I'm not the one who makes the rules about this stuff. I'm only trying to tell you what the rules are. Because of the situation Tech can claim two markets. UL can't. It's really really stupid but that's the way it is in the eyes of everyone that matters. Believe me if you want. Or if you want to beleive in your fantasyland go for it. It's all good.

Again, I'm still caught up on the fact that we can sell the entire allotment of tickets and still possibly lose money. Is it just the fact that this bowl has one of the lower payouts?

No you don't make the rules, you just make stuff up. And you ignore facts. Just because there are no UL trickles on kplc's we page this moment oes not negate the fact at hey have covered UL. Are you going to deny that kplc reaches Lafayette and at kact and klfy serve Lake Charles? Using your logic concerning Tech and the Shreveport and Monroe markets we can make the same claim for UL and Lake Charles.

No, outside of a BCS bowl teams other bowl teams rarely make money on bowls.

I just find it horse farm and million dollar grab ridiculous that the UL powers that be, when finding themselves the "one" profitable bowl team in the country, would agree to give it away.

I don't think we "gave away" our bowl profit. I think we were outvoted by other league members. You might say our bowl profit was "stolen".

UL is in a position where they could have shut down the vote with the threat of going independent.

Just like MTSU could have shut down the $10m vote with the threat of CUSA.

From The Independent by Dan McDonald

This year, with the new regulations requiring the revenue split with the conference, Farmer says UL's total income will obviously be smaller. He was the only league athletic director to vehemently oppose the new regulations.
"The schools that had never been to bowls were all in favor of it," he says. "The schools that had been to bowl games, they all had new athletic directors who didn't know what was going on. I was a one-man fight."
Farmer says the regulations are in place just for this year, and the process will be revisited by the league's AD's this spring.

If the SBC can act that fast one getting UL's bowl money . . . why couldn't they act that fast to require a huge exit fee from MTSU and FAU?

I'm almost to the point to where I'm hoping we get passed over by other leagues and they kill the SBC in the process. It would force us to go Indy and inadvertently reap the rewards of that move, like securing our own Bowl agreement with the NOLA Bowl much like BYU has now with the Poinsettia, and not having to share revenues.

The New Orleans Bowl would jump onboard in a split second at the chance of that option.
