I'm not excited for the Independence Bowl at all. I would likely attend

the bowl game if it is in Arizona after Christmas...but not likely attend if it's in Shreveport pre-Christmas.

But, I think there is a lot of desire bias influencing the analysis that BYU will not play in the Independence Bowl this year.

BYU will be in AZ for its Bowl Game. Mark it.

Isn't the Peach Bowl still slightly in play?

Possibly, but the Fiesta would prefer to have BYU in it instead of a Wake vs ND game.

Just as in play as the Fiesta Bowl.

No, IF a NY6 bowl miraculously happens, it’s likely the NY6 bowls would want the teams in cities they can sell the most

Technically but the Fiesta Bowl makes much more sense

This is the way and is mutually beneficial for all parties involved

You should buy tickets anyway. They're cheap. Go enjoy a good game no matter who is playing.

molodyets

12/3/21 11:48am

And leading up to the Fiesta Bowl, you'll be able to get tickets for ~35-40 as well. There is

Isn't the Independence Bowl a higher payout than the GRB though? I'd rather play

Polemic

12/3/21 11:45am

No. The last reported payout was when it was ACC vs SEC in 2019 - then it got reworked to by Indy vs CUSA and was

It appears it might be and that would be a very BYU Adminish thing to do

Make it happen. 30 minute drive for me and I'll get to see all the 3rd

OUR CONTRACT WITH THE INDEPENDENCE BOWL SPECIFIC ALLOWS US TO EXERCISE THIS OPTION

I hope you are wrong - that would be so disappointing

On the other hand, BYU has already played this year in Vegas, SoCal and NW

BYU also played in Waco & Ga Southern this year

You are probably right with the "desire bias"

BYU Fan

There's a decent chance BYU brings the Independence Bowl to the Big 12

Doogal McCougar

12/3/21 12:16pm

The Big 12 doesn’t need BYU to get a contract with the Independence Bowl

runningryan

12/3/21 12:24pm

Not what I said. BYU brings the Big 12 to the Independence Bowl

Doogal McCougar

BYU's agreement with the Indy Bowl will evaporate once we are in Big XII

jegaman

12/3/21 1:48pm

Yeah like the time we were contracted to play in the Hawaii Bowl in 2015 but exercised our option to play in Vegas

I get your point theoretically, but that isn't what has happened here

Contract states that it's AN option, but it's not OUR option

Why are payouts lower for indy than conference teams? That doesn't seem fair.

Not really this as much as people think

I hope an AZ bowl happens. I could likely go.

Help me out here. 9 bowl eligible teams minus MSU and MI leaves 7 not 6, right?

Nope because OSU and Michigan would still be ranked high enough and Iowa would get the
