according to the CUSA board the Liberty Bowl has signed CUSA to a 4 year Contract to send its champion(or is it first selection?) to Memphis at about 1.5 Million per year. This is a very happy ending for CUSA which easily has the best bowl lineup of the non-BCS bowls.

What conference got the other slot?

by **Stallion** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 11:09 am

SEC signed several months ago. BTW I think the SEC will have some say on the opponent-don't think they want Mississippi-Southern Miss or Memphis-Tennessee type games

Can we hope for Arkansas and SMU, the good old days?

Only if both teams can get in with one or two wins.

Wow.. huge news.

Here's bigger news.. we haven't been in a bowl game for 20 years and I don't see things changing anytime soon.

I saw a press release that we have renewed all bowls.
Here are the match ups in the five bowls. 5 out of 12 CUSA teams can go bowling. Now all we have to do is to get bowl eligible.

Liberty= CUSA vs. SEC
GMAC= CUSA vs. MAC
Hawaii= CUSA vs. WAC
Ft. Worth= CUSA vs. MT. West
New Orleans= CUSA vs. Sun Belt

actually heard that this year Ft. Worth is C-USA vs Big 12.. then 2007 starts our C-USA vs Mt. West matchup

didn't we agree to go to the Houston Bowl as well or was that only if they got the No. 1 selection?

They pulled out.. It's Big 12 5th or 6th vs SEC West team..

OK there is some wheeling and dealing in the Hawaii Bowl. Hawaii paper reporting that CUSA signed through 2009 but CUSA with agree to decline to send a team in 2006 to allow the PAC 10 No. 6 to go apparently to shore up the bowl financially.

......and a PAC 10 team will likely play in Ft Worth in 2007.
