[NU Sports] A thought on bowling

[szeller at comcast.net]

Perhaps farfetched, but knowing how much the BT would want the revenue and exposure, and can wield influence, how about this scenario:
The Big Ten office, working with the AD's, talks to some of the at-large bowls, and those bowls whose conference does not have bowl-eligible teams, and offers some of our 7-5 teams. They find interesting warm-weather spots for those attractive-record teams, and their fans are happy with a fun, new, different spot to go to. They then fill the bottom two conference-assigned bowls with 6-6 NU and Iowa. All ten teams get a bowl, ten bowls get Big Ten exposure and fan turnout, the Big Ten is happy, everyone is happy. Possible?
