My hunch ESPN working with SBC to make BYU happen. http://www.fbschedules.com/2017/05/frisc...each-bowl/

The bowl always had a certain amount of flexibility written into its ties with the G5 pool---thats how it ended up with BYU when CUSA was the scheduled opponent in the first year of the Miami Bowl. Where this bowl is a quantum improvement over the Miami Bowl is the time slot. Instead of being on a weekday---a couple of days before Christmas--- at 2 in the afternoon, when most people are still at work---the Frisco Bowl will instead kick off at 8pm in prime time 4 days prior to Christmas. Much better travel window and a kick time that appeals to a much larger TV audience. lol....ESPN was clearly "hoeing" the AAC with that almost sinister time slot.

Aresco gave another AAC bowl tie-in to allow BYU to play in Miami. I have a feeling Temple fans can tell you about that lost tie-in.

You mean he should of done an all AAC matchup of Temple vs Memphis instead of the BYU vs Memphis game that was played?

Straw-Man arguement, the agreement did not happen while the bids went out, it was done prior to the start of the season. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/86560...-ESPN.html
