Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3000657, member: 27"] The Gator paid $3.1 million per team a couple of months ago. It paid $5.45 million in 2012. It has fallen behind the payouts for the Pinstripe, Belk, Camping World and even the Sun Bowl. They were fortunate to get as good a matchup as they did in 2018. They were once one of the best bowls and I think the only things keeping them relevant are their reputation and location (Florida, even Northern Florida, is a lot more attractive than Tennessee, North Carolina or points even further north). I hope they get a good sponsor and keep this bowl going. The ACC needs bowls in Florida. One of their top priorities for the next round of bowl negotiations has to be capturing one of the top slots in either Tampa or Orlando, preferably both. The skanky, irrelevant B1G needs to be relegated to bowls in Indiana and Michigan; areas more appropriate for the skill level of their crappy programs. Same applies to th B12. [/QUOTE]
