I'll be there. I bought 4 for myself but that's just because I don't want to sit by any of the haters in here.

last year's BBVA Bowl required each time to sell 10,000.

and yikes..Pitt struggled to do that a year ago against an SEC opponent

Under their agreement with the Compass Bowl, each school is required to purchase 10,000 tickets to be resold to fans and alums at the face value cost of $50 a piece. However, current estimates indicate that the University of Pittsburgh reportedly has only managed to sell between 2,000 and 3,000 tickets, while the University of Kentucky has sold upwards of 4,000. Should either school be unable to sell their allotment of tickets, the school will be forced to eat the loss in profits.

that would be surprising. usually it is up to the school to cover it.

i could see the ticket allotment being an issue for the hawaii bowl though, so maybe.

It might have just applied to Hawaii or perhaps I just thought I read it somewhere.

Shouldn't be a problem for SMU. I remember a certain group of people screaming that we would take 10,000 to the Liberty Bowl.

CUSA covers travel, accommodation expenses-but school is stuck with unsold tickets
