[Husker] Bowl Eligibility (from NCAA handbook)

[Kurt Holst]

This should clear up any mis-understanding about bowl eligibility (an 
excerpt from the 2005-2006 Postseason Football Handbook):

<A deserving winning team is defined as one that wins a minimum of six games
against Division I-A competition and has a record that includes more 
wins than losses.
[Exception: Each year, a Division I-A institution may count a victory 
against a Division
I-AA opponent that has averaged 90 percent of the permissible maximum 
number of
grants-in-aid per year in Division I-AA football over a rolling two-year 
period. Only a
conference champion may seek a waiver of these requirements.
Division I-A contests played in Hawaii are exempt from NCAA legislation 
limiting
a season to 11 games, but this competition does count in the six-win 
requirement. An
institution that participates in an exempt contest, however, must have 
more wins than
losses against Division I-A opponents to be eligible to participate in a 
bowl game, even
if it meets the six-win requirement.>
