Because Western Kentucky is not leaving the conference...yet.

I was told that WKU knew that the little ceasars bowl might be the only option and had been campaigning to that bowl for a good period of time. It's hard to come in last second and convince a bowl to start looking at another school just because they got left out from another bowl they wanted. I Truly believe both team should be going to a bowl and it sucks MT got left out, but the Sun Belt had no say in who went to the Little Ceasars bowl and WKU had pushed hard for this bowl early which probably made for the final decision which was made if I was to guess.

And MT had been told not to campaign with any bowl directly by the commish, meanwhile WKU did.

Now y'all are just pulling crap out of a hat.

It is true. The meeting and decision came in October, and was called by the Commish once it was likely that several SBC teams were bowling.

Massaro has been to 3 bowl games with MT. He knows his way around the block in dealing with the committees.
