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

Definitely could be a LOT worse. #PotatoBowl

Is the Potato Bowl worse?

$2.2 mil > $.8 mil

here's to hoping

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

Middle of nowhere Louisiana vs a C-USA team before Christmas

I'm sure the temperature at game time will be quite different. Also, game on a

Here is a link to the bowl lineup with payouts

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

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

11/30/21 8:02am

Is that a positive?

BYU Fan

11/30/21 8:06am

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

here's to hoping

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

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
