If New Orleans wanted us they would have already selected us. They are pulling a Tom Herman on us. "We want you, USM. We just want to meet with several other programs first before we commit to you......"

I think WKU picks Boca win or lose Saturday and Tech then heads to Dallas leaving USM free for NOLA

The vast number of bowls will pick Saturday and Sunday. Very few ever pick ahead of time. We will be in the N O Bowl. But then I thought Hillary would win too. lol04-cheers

Indy bowl would pay more...but less fans would attend.

Wouldn't our payment be in tickets either way? I think we'd sell more tickets to the New Orleans Bowl, theoretical payout aside. I can see us selling 20,000 tickets to NOLA. At $45 each, that's $900,000. Not a bad gross figure.

IIRC, payout money is pooled then divided amongst the conference members (making payout money irrelevant)

RE: Still Waiting for confirmation on New Orleans Bowl invite..
...Here's the way bowl finances work: A bowl pays a guarantee amount directly to the conference for each participating team. Guarantees range from several hundred thousand dollars for lower-tier bowls, which draw most of their teams from the Group of Five, to $4.25 million for the Citrus Bowl involving teams from power conferences. The College Football Playoff games and New Year's Six games are a different beast, paying many millions more to the conferences.

A conference puts the money it collects from bowls into a pool and draws from it to give each participating school a pre-determined amount to cover transportation, lodging, meals and entertainment. Cost overruns are covered by the schools, though conferences sometimes reimburse those that must overspend because of unforeseen circumstances. Any money left over in the pool is distributed to all schools in the league.

You're Welcome.

Maybe to a Soulja Boy Concert.

There may be 20K there in black and gold yelling TTT, but at least half of them will buy their tickets between the thirties from PeeWee at Poydras and Loyola for $10 each. The shamed who buy from the ticket office will get $45 corner end zones and a promise their purchase will allow for running water in the coliseum. It will put more in the coffers than the Rocco Baton tilt, but don't drink too many beers before going in to watch Docball.

The Ghost is correct. As an example of "unforeseen circumstances," when the Liberty Bowl bailed on us in 2011, the conference office picked up the tab on our Hawaiian getaway.

..yep, Don't ever buy bowl tickers through this University, just like bdr said, you'll be lucky to be on the 10...I found that crap out a lot of years ago when I was a high EC donor and the best they would give me was the 20 yard line at the Liberty bowl...I said "F That"...picked up the phone and called the Liberty bowl office and got as many 50 yard line seats I wanted....and continued to do that for every Liberty bowl....and yeah, they will try to "shame you" by saying you should buy from USM...that's a running joke a few of us on here have......again.."F That!"...any other bowl I buy off the skreet for half the price with 5 times the better seats.

..I ain't driving X amount of miles and spending X amount of money to go sit on the 10 yard line where I can't even see what the hell is going on in the game and spend my whole time watching the replay monitors....I can do that **** at home.

Well this probably means Troy won't be in Nola...Bowls typically stay away from rematches.

Likely they are hoping ULL wins this weekend.

If so Enjoy the win. haha

Heard from a source that if ULL loses Saturday you guys will play App State.

If I were you Id hope ULL wins...We were lucky to get the win against App. They are nearly identical to us.

Nice. The ull/usm matchup would likely bring more people than any other possible matchup. One of the better chances for a usm win too!

Much better chance of beating ULaLa than App State. App State is damn good team.
