And that allows us to go outside of the conference. We were not allowed to just sort of bypass our American Athletic selection and just take whoever we want, there has to be a suitable sort of alternative for them, and our partners and friends at ESPN Events were able to do that and find bowl games for those teams that were more geographically appealing, so to speak. “That allowed us to take UConn who, along the same lines, is geographically appealing for us. It kind of works for everyone. We do everything we can and we love our partnership with the American and we want to stay in line when we can, but if there’s a better solution for everybody, we’re certainly open to exploring it and I think that’s what played out this year.” <- [/QUOTE]
