All please sit tight. Does anyone believe the market or TV viewership will be interested in a 6 and 6 Big Ten team or SEC team playing each other. Will a 6 and 6 ACC team which would be totally laughable playing in a bowl game be of any importance. The best news I heard today was the the supposedly weaker conferences were going to look into other options for bowls amongst themselves. The non elite bowls are in trouble and will only be relevant if they pare with the strongest from the non 5 conferences. We will only subsidize their bowls if we participate and make them relevant. After the 2015 bowl season all will realize what we have all learned in Business 101 when we have reach market saturation there is a point where you start reaching diminishing returns.
Anyone else concerned about our Bowl Tie Ins?

Not final yet, but looks like Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl in St. Pete will have American on one side, with 3 years ACC, 3 C-USA on other side.

No worry - I had a bunch of fun in Detroit, Charlotte , Toronto, Birmingham, and Glendale. They are what they are, an excuse for a road trip to watch college football. I lose no sleep over this just sharing what I read.

That's cool. Just put it in some kind of perspective. My brother went to Georgia Tech and my nephew went to Auburn. They laugh at me when I talk to them about the bowls UConn has gone to.

What’s the latest on the conference’s bowl agreements? Any chance for the American to play a bowl in Texas?
A: We’re definitely in the mix for one of the bowls in Dallas/Fort Worth. We’re looking at the Liberty Bowl, which has the Big 12 on one side. I think we’ll be playing the Big 12 in a couple of our bowls. We’re looking at renewing our games in Birmingham, Ala. (BBVA Compass Bowl), St. Petersburg, Fla. (Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl) and possibly having our teams go to Hawaii a few times. We’re also looking at some other bowls. And we’re definitely serious about starting our own bowl and have looked at the South Florida market. We’ll have a wide range of good opponents and good locations. I think we’ll be playing the Southeastern Conference, the Big 12, Atlantic Coast Conference and we’re looking at games possibly involving a Pac-12 team and some of the other conferences like C-USA and possibly Mountain West. Remember we have very good chance to be playing on New Year’s Day or New Year’s Eve with our champion in one of the playoff system bowls. We hope obviously that we will be competing for one of four playoff spots, but even if we don’t make that if we are the highest ranked conference of the so-called group of five – C-USA, Mountain West, Sun Belt and Mid-American – we would play in a New Year’s Day bowl against a high-profile opponent. We think we have a real chance to do that most years.

American & ACC agree to 6-year deal w/Military Bowl starting in 2014, sources told @espn. Bowl will be at Navy
http://espn.go.com/college-football...tic-conference-acc-play-military-bowl-sources
"From 2014-19, the Military Bowl is expected to share the American's third through sixth picks and the ACC's seventh through 10th selections, sources said."

Annapolis is a great place and fairly easy to get to but not so much of a travel destination @ end of December
Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium seats 35k.
