In other words, if the Independence has an opening and 1 AAC team and 1 CUSA team is available, the bowl may select either team and the other is out of luck. Indy bowl will probably select the closest program if things like records and fan bases are roughly equal.

Which is why AAC getting the Cure Bowl isn't a bad thing for C-USA. It makes it less likely the American will have extra teams.

You're correct, and I expressed this on the AAC board. The AAC did not really need the Cure bowl, as that will give them 8 primary bowl tie ins most years for 12 teams. 9 if selected for Access. I don't like not having the option of going to a more attractive backup option instead of bowls like the Cure, Bahamas, Boca, etc.
