Looks bad on paper but the cupboard is far from bare. This team will still have the talent to compete for a conference championship next year. A lot of question marks but it will be fun to see how the season plays out.
My guess would be that because the Birmingham Bowl isn t a B12 bowl tie-in the bowl and B12 probably came to an agreement that Texas Tech shouldn't be on the hook for the whole 10k allotment.
I just called the Sheraton and they said "they can't confirm nor deny that the team is staying at the hotel."
Is there a concerted effort to keep this a secret this year? Very peculiar to me.
I was going off a tweet by Sr. Associate AD Mark Goodrich. He talks about the new top golf being next to the team hotel and then showed a pic of the Westin. I called the Westin and they looked it up and confirmed. It was $133 a night compared to $170 when I went through the Birmingham Bowl website.
I may call back to double check or give a call to the Sheraton to see what they say.
Not putting the Blame squarely on Harlan's shoulders. I actually think Aresco should have stepped up and told the Military bowl that we belong there. With added pressure from Harlan.
