These big conferences are not going to fill their bowl slot up, especially with the b10 and others shying away from 1aa scheduling.

Basically a bowl for Syracuse or Rutgers now maybe for both with Syracuse in the ACC and Rutgers in the B1G. That bowl with be hurting if they don't get a northeast team.

I think NYC in December would be pretty cool. Stay for New Year's Eve

This whole bowl thing seems like a cartel. The P5 playing each other cutting the AAC and MWC out along with the other G5, or...am I wrong and it's all about attendance? I hope we in the American make some backup deals with the bowls on the lower rung of the P5. However, in truth, I don't care much which bowl we go to unless it is one of the playoff bowls.

The Big Apple yawns.

New York is indifferent to college football.

Looks like the ACC will be a player in the Beef O Brady's Bowl against AAC. Will have American on one side, with 3 years ACC, 3 C-USA on other side.

Also, armed forces bowl will likely go to the AAC as well. B1G will be sharing a tie with the Armed Forces Bowl in Ft Worth (2 out of 6 years).

Making some small strides on the bowl front to play more P5 teams, even though we lost Belk and Pinstripe.

Hahahaha - most fans can't afford to go to the Hawaii Bowl. Been there, done that, and did it very well ... twice - let's start piling up more bowls where people can afford to make the trip.

This bowl should never have existed. It was a total waste and it is good that it has been eliminated from the many "who cares" bowls.
