when the game went from being SEC vs ACC. Not saying that it doesn't still pay 2.2 million seems like pretty convenient thing to forget.

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

$2.2 mil > $.8 mil

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

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

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

Is that a positive?

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

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

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
