AAC Bowl game at Gillette?

You should seriously consider throwing whatever it is you post from off the closest bridge immediately.

If it didn't have me by the balls I would

I don't care if UConn plays a bowl game on the moon. I just want them to be in a friggin' bowl game.

It's pointless to pupu anything on the table with regard to the AAC in football. Anything with the remotest chance of putting fans in seats and keeping cable boxes tuned in needs to be discussed and fully vetted.

Isn't part of the whole "bowl" idea to reward the teams for a successful season? How exactly sending them to Fobough, MA in December/January a reward?? NFL facilities (never mind in inclimate or cold weather) are terrible for college football. You want to do a Northeastern-focused AAC bowl game? Play it at The Rent w/ expanded seating in the end zone.

I'm sure the Patriots officials think that's a great idea, you should call them up and explain to them how bad their facilities are for college football, and that cold/"inclimate" weather suck the life out of the game.

Expanded seating? I think you'd be good with the current capacity. By about 30k.

Looks like the AAC has ties with 3 of the 4 proposed new bowls for the 2015 season. No mention of Foxboro.

Oh boy! Two match ups against the Sun Belt and one against C-USA! Can't wait!

I get it that we aren't gonna land a P5 matchup in all likelihood but could we at least get a MWC team?!?

Little Rock, Arkansas, has withdrawn its application with the NCAA to host a bowl game this fall.
War Memorial Stadium, home of the Arkansas Razorbacks, was to host Little Rock's proposed bowl game. The bowl would have been played at War Memorial Stadium and featured teams from the American Athletic and Sun Belt conferences. The bowl was unable to secure a television contract and local leaders decided to wait until 2016 to pursue a new bowl game.
