I would give up $600k to play a P5 opponent (Independence Bowl vs. GR Bowl).

Now, if LSU played in the IB, then that would be best of both worlds.

Independence bowl is not bad. 2.2m payout, prime-time ABC Saturday early in Dec.

Definitely could be a LOT worse. #PotatoBowl

$2.2 mil > $.8 mil

here's to hoping

I'd be very surprised if the Independence Bowl is paying $2.2 million

but of course the Indy Bowl rep wouldn't say the payout went down

It's really hard to believe a 12/18 bowl game vs C-USA is paying out $2.2 mill

BYU Fan

11/30/21 7:44am

and it is in a state where we haven't played since 2017

jegaman

11/30/21 8:02am

Is that a positive?

BYU Fan

It was 2.2 in 2019, that was miami vs. louisiana tech. according to these guys

here's to hoping

11/30/21 8:43am

would the team like to be done by Christmas and home with family?

If a CUSA opponent could be swapped for a P5 one as rumored it would be great.

Would you fly to Dallas then rent a car and drive there? It’s just a regional airport surrounded by regional airports.

Trent

Yep, that's the way I'd do it, just take 20 east to Shreveport about 2 1/2 hours, if you get hungry, you can stop in

There's a Buc-ees right outside Dallas. Maybe too early but so worth it

By a prime-time you mean a good time slot? I think it is 2:30 Central - which is a good time slot I would think, but

For college football a lot of the best games are on at 3:30 ET on network tv.

Due to injuries, would be better to play on Dec 28

Our payout for the 2016 Poinsettia Bowl was $600,000.

LOL. Keep convincing yourself the independence bowl is “good”.

Keep convincing yourself that your conference is "good".

26-17. 5-0 v P12. What isn't good is your conference, regardless of bowl affiliation. You guys suck, we all know it.

If it is against an SEC team then it would be great.

That $2.2 million will about cover the expenses of going to the Bowl

We didn't go into the red for the 2016 Poinsettia Bowl at $600k. We barely went
