This has been my take all along, especially if NOLA can get Louisiana and Louisiana Tech. The Louisiana fans really want Tech in New Orleans and it would be good to rejuvenate their fan base.Gratefulneer wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2019 6:14 pmLiberty is looking for a bowl... and they have a secondary tie in agreement with the Cure. Meaning if AAC or Sun Belt can’t fill it Liberty can have the bid.
So App to Belk, Louisiana to Nola and Liberty to Cure. Simple, the rest of the bowls per usual.
For me, seeing App take on Virginia Tech (my childhood team thanks to my dad being a UVA fan and Mike Vick) would be pretty great. I'd also actually be able to attend.
But as I stated on a previous thread about this, the Sun Belt would be failing all schools in the conference if they didn't at least approach NOLA and Belk to see if App filling in is feasible. The pay out is $4 million and App would have almost no travel costs when compared to New Orleans. Would also likely fill up the stadium between both App and Virginia Tech considering where Tech thought that they would be earlier in the season.
