Insight bowl offically out...

[Joe]

well i think the bowls will take a 6-5 UCONN over 6-5 USF (if they win and we lose) so they are waiting to see what happens sat. Unfortunatly thats the downfall of a young program.

They sold 6,000 tix to the Motor City last year, unfortunatly, it's going to take a lot for us to sell that many...

I would expect that a bid would come only after UCONN is eliminated...assuming Louisville can do what we couldnt.

never though I would say this but lets go Red

Fan support is a big deal with bowl selections too.  If the reps for the bowls weren't there for the Cincy game(which you should hope that was the case), they will probably be there for the WVU game to see if there is enough home support.  If UConn wins, that could be a deciding factor.

what are the bowl payouts anyway?

[ChiTownBull]

One thing has. The Big East will pay stipends to football teams based on bowl appearances, with bonuses going to the top three finishers. The team that makes the Big East's Bowl Championship Series appearance, which will produce $13.5million for the league, will receive $1.8million. The Gator Bowl team will get $1.3million, the Insight Bowl team $1.2million and the Meineke Car Care Bowl team (and other conference teams that go to bowls) $1.1million.

The Big East champion will receive an additional $600,000, with $300,000 going to the runner-up and $100,000 to the third-place team.
