Say an SBC team, a CUSA team, a MAC team and an Aresco League team playing a double-header in New Orleans or Memphis on Dec 17 or whenever? The stadium would actually sell out with four fanbases piling in. You'd probably get a Saturday on ESPN or ESPN-2 for the games.

I would consider anything for the MAC that is an upgrade over the fixed 3 bowl triad of Detroit, Mobile, Boise.

San Antonio, New Orleans, Mobile for the #1/#2 picks of CUSA, SBC, MAC would be great. San Antonio can replace the game in Boise.

One of the big issues I've had with the MAC lineup over the years is there is no true #1/#2 location. Schools now are opting out of Detroit in many cases the traditional MAC #1. Then you have a program like Ohio in a bowl game every year gunning for at-large slots.
