Interesting. Did the Charlotte Bowl show us the money?

That's what I'm wondering too. What's the payout with the new sponsor?

Meineke
Date: December 31, 2010
Time: Noon
Location: Charlotte, N.C.
Stadium: Bank of America Stadium
Payout: $1.6 million per school minimum
Teams: ACC vs. Big East
Title Sponsor: Meineke Car Care Centers
Television: ESPN

I'm pretty sure what they mean is that they have the #2 pick after the BCS selection. Seems to be the trendy way to say it to make the pick seem better for the hordes of very casual fans who aren't going to read the fine print. For instance the Champs Sports Bowl is going around saying it has the #1 pick of the Big East* and the #2 pick of the ACC*. And the asterisk leads to fine print of after BCS bowl selections.

Not sure what this is
they pick after champs
although this is the last year for meinecke as sponsor
it did move up a spot in acc order from previous contract

That's what I was referring to earlier. Meineke won't be the sponsor next year. Have they found another sponsor? And will that sponsor offer more money and try to make the Charlotte bowl a bigger game. It should be. It's a great location for a match up between the ACC and The BEast...

could be
but I think someone misread it

Someone always misreads things. What else is new?

I think what they mean is thy get the 2nd BE choice after BCS.
