Why do you think ULM is more likely than Tech? I hope that is true, though!
Because Tech has dictated terms to the Indy before, which they accepted and which led to the most disastrous TV ratings ever for a bowl game, along with thousands of empty seats in the stadium. The Indy may not be best of buds with Tech, in spite of what the Nechsters would have us believe.
Lets check out some facts:
Worst TV ratings for bowl games:
2005-2006 Poisetta Bowl CSU vs Navy .89 rating
2006-2007 Insight Bowl Texas Tech vs Minnesota .93 rating
