we were never gonna be invited to those 4 bowls under the BCS or anytime before and that imo is exactly what started the CUSA teams(Houston and UCF) jumping ship. At that time the BE was an AQ league for the double digit million dollar pay day. Didn't work out tho did it? Memphis went for BB prob. The Tulsa, Tulane, ECU etc went to stay with the others. Opens the door for us to do well if we don't stick our head where it was 2005-2010. Maybe need to upgrade the OOC tho and I would just as soon it be one game a yr at OSU, UT, Clemson for the 800,000-1,000,000. It aint like we don't need it. Kill two birds with one stone. A one or two loss yr wont get it it done if the lone decent team is Louisville or UNC.
