If we win the conference I predict that the Liberty Bowl will take a Big East team or another CUSA team that's a better draw, and we will play at TicketCity.
I don't think there is a team in CUSA that would be a better draw then us to memphis after a Championship season. Dallas is what a 7 hour drive or an hour flight to memphis? Champion v SEc draw better than decent CUSA team v sec to the average memphis person looking to see a college bowl game

But the thing is is that no team in CUSA would be as good of a draw as we would for TicketCity, and we would undoubtedly bring more fans to TCB than we would to LB. This conference desperately needs to protect their bowl berths by promoting maximum attendance.
Liberty Bowl doesn't have to take any team from CUSA if they don't want to. They can take a team from the Big East. In that case, the bowl in Birmingham (Papajohns) gets to take a CUSA team
