[NU Sports] Bowl announcements

[John Labbe]

I've actually been thinking that it's possible that we could accept a  
bid to the Champs Bowl sooner than that.  If all the rules I've pieced  
together from various sources over the past 10 days are true, then the  
Alamo can pick Wisconsin over us if we get two Big Ten teams in the  
BCS, and I'm assuming Iowa will be picked over us (either for the  
Outback if we get two teams in the BCS or the Alamo if not).  But the  
Champs can't pick Wisconsin or Minny over us in any event.

Therefore, the Champs just needs to get the Capital One, Outback, and  
Alamo to confirm that they don't want NU, and then we could lock up  
the Champs Bowl as early as this week or next.  But that's assuming  
the Outback and Alamo don't want us, and probably also assuming that  
we're not lobbying for one of those bowls.
