Little Caesars Bowl going away?
Saw this tweet from Brett McMurphy:

@McMurphyESPN: Detroit Lions expected to start new bowl in 2014, likely B1G vs. ACC, at Ford Field sources told @ESPN. Would eliminate Little Caesars Bowl

ACC? I was expecting AAC to take a spot over.


If it is the ACC then the AAC would be in a better position to get a secondary pick over the MAC. That would stink for the conference.

How would the AAC be in a better spot for secondary? It's in our footprint...

Either way it does suck for the MAC

Big 14 can't even fill the bowls it has, except maybe with a 6-6 team. Are 5-7 teams going to be eligible?

Yeah, that's what I don't get. Only 3 of 16 MCB/LCPB had a B10 participant. I don't know when the official B10 and MAC agreement started but they haven't played a significant role in it.

Naturally if the ACC is in it maybe the Big14 would switch things around so they'd have an eligible team more than once every several years. Otherwise, yea, I don't see the point.

I don't see the point of having the ACC in at all. They already have too many bowls to fill...you think that Duke fans wouldn't complain about coming to Detroit? Or what FSU fan would make that trip?

And for what, an opportunity to renew a rivalry w/ UMd?

It's a snub to the MAC, and maybe it portends further changes.

This could mean that starting in 2014 the Go Daddy will host the #1 MAC team EVERY year.

Yea, I'm sure the ACC fans will be thrilled to go to Detroit over the holidays. The MAC is always getting pre-empted by the big bully in the region.

This can't be.

I was told by a certain realignment/bowl contract/seating chart guru that I was wrong in my assessment that contract conferences would over sign bowls and screw the non-contract conferences out of bowl spots.

The P1G is going to have to drop some bowls. They added the Pinstripe Bowl (didn't they?). They'll have to move up on their pecking order to get a team to Detroit.

They finally wised-up to what the SEC was doing for years. Rutgers and Maryland were brought in for TV markets AND wins for Michigan and Ohio State, etc.

Yes. If the NCAA had any balls, they'd regulate these bowls better.

-No more than half of a conference can go to a bowl, which means no more than 31 bowls.
-All conferences get a minimum of 2-3 bowls
-Limit the # of bowls to around 28.
-All 8+ win teams must be selected before 7 wins teams are selected. All 7 win teams must be selected before 6 win teams are selected.
-No more ridiculous ticket allotment requirements. I could understand a requirement of like 3-5k, but when it gets above 10k for mid to low level bowls, that is just uncalled for, especially when secondary markets have tickets available dirt cheap.

The "Detroit Lions Bowl"? I guess, since they haven't made the playoffs since Barry Sanders. Now they can claim that the "Detroit Lions" are in the "football postseason" every year.
