CUSA keeps getting better
Apparently we have traded our bowl bid for Heart of Dallas Bowl vs. Big 12 to the Big Ten for the Armed Forces Bowl Vs. Army according to Brett McMurphy...Great job CUSA and Judy! .......So now simple math tells me we have zero possible games vs. P5 in a bowl game.....Better off if we just played vs "P6" teams only in bowls to continue our dominance vs. that wannabe conference...

RE: CUSA keeps getting better
Suppose someone must ask, did CUSA have a choice? Big Ten vs CUSA, the HoD committee said nice knowing you but a better looking chick just walked in the door

I would assume this was about money (i.e. a higher payout).
IMO at this level, if it's between my pride or ducats...well....show me the money.

I disagree we need exposure more. Of course this depends on the amount of money. I expect The Chosen One is right though. We were offered this "deal" or we could wait until our contract is up and end up on the street with nothing.

I thought the HoD was always Big Ten, or was playing Illinois there just a fluke regarding eligible teams a couple years ago?

HOD pays twice as much as the Armed Forces Bowl.
I personally don't see much if any difference in most of these match ups than a 5-7 or 6-6 P5
Boise Stateß1 34 TCU 31
Cincinnati 32 Marshallß1 14
Kansas 42 Houston 13
Utah 25 Tulsa 13
California 42 Air Force 36
Houston 34 Air Force 28
Air Force 47 Houston 20
Army 16 SMU 14
BYU 24 Tulsa 21
Rice 33 Air Force 14
Navy 24 Middle Tennessee 6
Houston 35 Pittsburgh 34
California 55 Air Forceß2 36
Louisiana Tech 48 Navy 45

RE: CUSA keeps getting better
What a terrible decision. At first I thought, well it must be to give the east coast teams a bowl, as I was confused with the Annapolis based Military Bowl. So basically we just traded a higher payout, far greater visibility bowl against a team people care about, for a low paying game against Army in nearly the same location. How has Judy not been fired again? Seriously? Has anything... anything at all good happened for this conference since she took over? Money down, TV down, Bowls down, prestige down, press down. That stuff doesn't seem to be happening to the MAC and MWC which we claim to be as good as. Is it time for a letter writing campaign?

CUSA needs to get into the access bowl in the worst way. Though I guess with MTSU losing to Vandy and WKU losing to Indiana that is pretty much an impossibility already.

RE: CUSA keeps getting better
If anyone thinks this was a choice CUSA made on their own.....
you are crazy
This conference has no leverage in this or any other bowl game not owned by the conference. That would not change if we had the best commissioner of all time doing the job.

Slim chance, but we just need to be the highest ranked of the G5. Others could stumble as well.

This is not the same as you selling someone a tractor paid out over 60 months.
Bowl agreements change all the time. If a contract meant anything CUSA broke one when we gave up the internet only bowl last year. So show me the contract or stop acting like you know whats in it. Most likely either party has the right to opt out with notice yearly.
You are the dumb*** if you think CUSA has any leverage in this.

RE: CUSA keeps getting better
We, collectively, need to keep beating these guys in OOC. All the home games and half the away games, obviously excluding power elites. No one expects us to beat modern Alabama anywhere in the universe. But when we start putting together winning records against mid to low P5s, then we can make noise about them ducking us during bowl season.

This is what happens when you hire a university administrator and not a business person to run the conference. She is just a place holder collecting a paycheck. We obviously dont have the sharpest presidents running our universities.
