    Re: Op/Ed: The Independence Bowl is in trouble

    Re: Op/Ed: The Independence Bowl is in trouble

    To move UP the selection order of the $EC and ACC the I-Bowl will have to pay MORE than the $2.4M ($1.2M/team) payout. Otherwise they will keep getting 6-6 or worse teams that their fans won't...

    Re: Op/Ed: The Independence Bowl is in trouble
