I would think Bowl access is a big part of the negotiation for our next media deal and its something ESPN has a lot of direct and indirect strings to control. The AAC needs a step forward on bowls along with maintaining the same level of visibility on TV and of course more $.






From Wikipedia:

Since 2014, the matchup features a team from the SEC against the #4 pick from the Big 12 Conference. The Liberty Bowl is part of a six-bowl SEC pool arrangement that also involves the Belk, Music City, Outback, TaxSlayer, and Texas bowls; these bowls will choose one representative from the conference each, while the College Football Playoff receiving first choice (usually the Sugar Bowl in years it does not serve as a national semifinal) and the Citrus Bowl second choice.

The game is televised nationally on ESPN, and is carried nationwide by ESPN Radio, and internationally by ESPN International.

Hopefully they keep the SEC team and drop Big 12

Yeah, but I dont want to lose our Birmingham Bowl which is one of the few G5 vs P5 match ups left. The Birmingham Bowl is vs the SEC as well.

The Liberty Bowl is in Memphis. I'm surprised that the AAC doesn't have a spot.
