Didn't they do that before? ESPN whipped one up out of nowhere? I kinda remember. Anyone recall?

I remember this happening but can’t recall the details. It might have been bowl in Texas.

Frisco Bowl… reincarnation of the Miami Beach Bowl I think.

I found this from 2021.
A one-time replacement bowl game is expected to be developed this college football season after the Division I Football Oversight Committee on Thursday approved a request to waive the April 1 bowl game certification application deadline, according to a document obtained by ESPN.
This summer, the San Francisco Bowl told the NCAA, the Big Ten and the Pac-12 that it would not conduct a game this year. The bowl system entered this season anticipating 41 games with 82 teams needed to fill all of the available spots -- but there are now 84 "deserving" teams after Hawaii finished the season 6-7.

Can you make up a bowl at the last minute and fill it up with excited fans? Of course not. Can you rent a stadium, invite two teams and get yourself 3 and a half hours of live event to put on ESPN2 in December? Yup. Guess which the goal is?

SEC invite confirmed
What is option 1 for 1000, Alex?
I don't see why you can't create a bowl out of thin air. Most of us have to wait until the bowl assignments become official to book travel. That's why I had to laugh when the Fenway Bowl sent me an email a few weeks ago saying tickets were already on sale.

It's even less getting eyes on ESPN2 and more getting more content for bettors

I thought Delaware was not bowl eligible in their first year of FBS, is that no longer?

Because we got a better bowl last year instead of being tied in to a lesser bowl.

We would apparently be a backfill for a SEC vacancy. Works for me but it would have to depend on the snow.

Going off what Scott has said about the SEC slots not being filled, my best guess is we end up in one of the following:
Gasparilla
Liberty
Duke’s Mayo
Pinstripe
Fenway
Any of those would be a good spot for us, and almost certainly against a P4 team. I’m confident we’ll be happy with what we get

I'm sick of Wake and Marshall! Can a brother get NC State or Clemson?

Point being that by your logic you would rather have a crap HC whom nobody wants to hire vs a competent one who actually is sought out by other programs.
