[Husker] Bowls

[Ryan Lohr]

This is correct and how things would be done if there were no other 
negotiations taking place.  My feeling from talking with the Holiday Bowl 
Rep. is that negotiations take place between the bowls even though there is 
a "pecking order".  I came away with the feeling that the Holiday Bowl would 
allow the Gator to make their pick first, if everything plays out and a 
little $$$$ is on the table.  He made it sound like the Gator Bowl is 
worried about the number of fans they can or have drawn the past few years.
Of course he did not come directly out and say this or write it on paper for 
me, but that is the feeling I came away with while talking with him for 
20-30 minutes.  If I remember correctly he has been with the Holiday Bowl 
"Team" for about fifteen years.  It was a very interesting conversation.

>In the two years in which the Gator does not select a Big 12 team, the Sun

>BCS
>Cotton
>Holiday
>Gator (when it selects a Big 12 team)
>Alamo
>Sun (when the Gator does not take a Big 12 team)
>Insight
>Independence
>Texas

>The Big 12 has 9 teams that qualify for a bowl this year, and a bowl cannot
