I can't complain about Benson on this. He is severely limited in who wants to talk to him.

He got us an extra bowl slot and for now.....that's progress.

One of the many dysfunctional things about college football. The post-season depends on who wants to play which team. Ridiculous.

Yeah its ridiculous. I loved playing NIU and Kent the last two years, but Id also like a chance to play the best teams in another league as well...just to see where we stand.

Yep, variety would be good. Logically, even with 5 bowls we wouldn't have more than 1 against a particular conference, at most 2. All the G5 conferences should be playing each other. Other than Boise, the MWC isn't that good, we could have some good matchups against them.

Would think that 2 bowl games with one other conference would be the maximum normally.

CUSA scored 5 bowls within 6 years with 3 a year guaranteed with ESPN.
Sounds like a good arrangement.

The Hawaii bowl and the New Mexico bowl.....doesn't interest me in the least.
