Bowl #0 in Nowhere, Nowhere. Sound better to you?

Right...and be locked into some money-losing, CA-based, lowly bowl.

Not sure BYU lost money. The suggestion was for some BYU ownership in a CA bowl.

Teams hardly ever make money on the bowls

Why would you even want that? A 7-5 or better BYU team will be bowling, period.

If there ARE other options, I wouldn't want that at all.

Agreed. There's too many teams tied-in to current bowl for them to realistically

All of the non-CFP bowls appear to have a primary tie in

I stand corrected on that. But buyouts do and have taken place

Cougarpride
