The story in the ADG contradicts the ESPN report that no TV contract had been secured. SBC Commissioner Benson said the bowl had an offer from a television network and a title sponsor. Given that statement, it seems likely that there is something else happening here. Otherwise why submit an application just a week or so ago and expect to hear about approval in early May only to withdraw it? Odd.
