They don't know yet. It's a TBD. Depends on tickets sold.

MBB is a first year bowl created by ESPN and the AAC. It's played on a Baseball field with seating capacity of just over 36,000. One projection said an estimate of $1,000,000 but likely will fall short of that figure. And losing money is likely.

there is NO PAYOUT to the Miami Bowl.

the University gets tickets, Most or all of the money paid for tickets purchased through the University for tickets goes to the university... There is no real payout.

the conference might makeup some losses IF other bowls make a profit to the conference... which is unlikely.

If this is the case, why did the admin want this bowl so bad?

all of the bowls the AAC has lined up are about the same situation.

Who is the admin?

The AAC owns the Miami Beach Bowl. They wanted Memphis there. Part of that is marketing. Memphis going from a 3-9 team to a 9-3 team is a big story so there should be more interest there. The players wanted to go to Miami.

It's only speculation to suggest the AAC will reimburse any losses from school bowl expenses. It will be interesting to see what participation costs the university - but doubt it will ever be public as a total cost. Wonder too what the arrangement is with BYU?

They hate the fans...

Twenty years from now when the Memphis Tigers are going for their 5th national title the pundits will be posing the trivia question: "What team played and won the inaugural Miami Beach Bowl?"

The national perception is that the Miami Bowl features the best representative from the AAC vs. the best competition available (BYU > Florida). Nationally, it's considered more prestigious than the Birmingham Bowl.

no it's not.

I said my piece before on thoughts of going to Miami, but it's done with and now I'll cheer them on from home and hope it's a fantastic turnout all around.
But the above is jut a lie people are trying to get to catch on.

Quote:The Miami Beach Bowl will match an American Athletic Conference team against an opponent from either Conference USA, the Sun Belt Conference or the Mid-American Conference

A bowl tie-in against CUSA/Sun Belt/MAC is in no way more prestigious than the others. Wikipedia lists the bowl as our #5 bowl. Now, of course Wiki can be wrong at times, but that just shows the perception is it's one of our worst bowls, only propped up partially this year due to picking an independent over the above.

Quote:American Athletic Conference

2014:

#1 The Military Bowl versus ACC
#2 The Birmingham Bowl versus SEC
#3 The St. Petersburg Bowl versus ACC
#4 The Armed Forces Bowl versus Army/Big 12
#5 The Miami Beach Bowl versus BYU
#6 The Bahamas Bowl versus Mid American
The Independence Bowl Conference USA or the American fills unused slot if ACC or SEC does not fill its slot (both have backup agreements).

Wiki page

Heck, our own conference listed it 5th originally
http://theamerican.org/news/2013/12/5/FB...34743.aspx

Our team is going to have a heck of a time during the bowl, and BYU turned out to be a better opponent than it was originally slated to be (CUSA this year), but prestige it does not have.

Don't know about the cost, but the team is staying at the Fontableau hotel, and I checked prices for a room.....$343 a nite during the bowl weekend. I'm sure they got a discount...

If the AAC "owns" the bowl then the payout won't be much.

Really? So the national perception of the Birmingham Bowl featuring the 4th place AAC team vs. the 8th place (and 6-5) SEC team is higher?

Again, BYU was considered a better opponent than 6-5 Florida, 7-5 NC State, and 6-6 Virginia Tech and Memphis was considered the best representative from the AAC to play them.

But hey, if Wikipedia has a ranking that was compiled before the season even started...
