[NU Sports] 6-6 seasons

I've always wondered why the Big Ten didn't try to get the bowl game in Las Vegas, either against the Mountain West or the Pac 10.  I'd take that over Shreveport or El Paso any day -- the flights and hotels are cheaper,  the weather is better, and there is a lot more to do.  

The Big Ten could also try to snag the bowl game in Fort Lauderdale against the ACC or the Big East.

Isn't there another bowl game in New Orleans besides the Sugar?  Is there a bowl game in Tucson?

Try to engineer some places where people want to vacation with family that doesn't care about the bowl game, and the whole family will go and probably all end up at the game anyway.

And do NOT schedule another Big Ten/SEC game.  I'm getting tired of Wisconsin/Georgia and Ohio State/Tennessee every other year (it's getting boring really fast).  Try to get them against the ACC, Big East, Conference USA or the Mountain West -- conferences we don't play already.
