    No, not when they can have Boca. Also, C-USA wants at least one bowl team that will travel well. That's us to Dallas.

    Boca Raton Bowl vs. MAC
    Bahamas Bowl vs. American/MAC
    Hawai'i Bowl vs. Mountain West
    Heart of Dallas Bowl vs. Big Ten

    North Texas should fill in an opening somewhere else.
    old dominion accepted Bahama Bowl according to website

If you don't qualify for bowl --seniors do not practice... heck, I would rather watch a "joke" bowl game than WNBA-Golf-Tennis- etc. The Bahama Bowl 2 years ago was attended by a small game but WK and other team put on fun game.....

    I agree. Never understood the "too many bowls" mantra. Just don't watch or watch a Lifetime movie instead.

    FWIW, we did not use all our practice days last year. Apparently we didn't need them.

    I guess it's a good thing we won or that could have been a big issue on the board.

    80 teams make bowls. 48 teams don't.

    Not until last year. But now we have 4-6 ineligible teams going bowling, which has turned the bowl system into a mockery. The NCAA/FBA needs to pass a rule that says that bowl ineligible teams cannot play in bowl games, period. No waivers or APR. Bowls that are unable to be filled with eligible teams should not be played IMO.

    I wonder why they changed it to APR for 5-7 teams. If the point of a bowl game is money for the city/bowl/tv, you would think they would let the market dictate who can provide the most money. North Texas or Notre Dame?

    The various best-known websites are all over the place on where we might go.... I have seen Boca, Hawaii, New Orleans, Dallas. .... Do the teams in the conference championship get to pick their destination (in order of who wins and loses title game)?

    Didn't they just copy last year's schedule?

    Yes, flipped it. My post was in reference to last year's schedule that turned into this year's schedule, only flipped.

    I just went and looked, and man, we'd be undefeated with that schedule. Played a Mullen-less SMU, at home. No Middle, and they lost to App-State. WKU put them in their place. They are no where near as good as their 9-3 record.
