Message: [QUOTE="Eagle78, post: 830944, member: 2253"] I never said that BC had control of its destiny. Just like SU, it clearly does not. What I said was that BC does appear to prefer Dallas and its not due to any pressure or face saving vis-a-vis the Conference. The reasons are several: BC prefers the Dallas location. Easier for alums in the region to get to and MUCH easier for fans/alums in Boston to travel to in comparison to Shreveport. (Don't underestimate this fact for any Northeastern team with a history of fan bowl travel challenges.) The date is preferable. BC would like to be in the game that kicks off the January 1 football lineup. Good for recruiting. While the opponent may be from CUSA, it would likely be a team like Rice which would be an interesting draw for BC and might increase the chance of a "W" (an important attainment for a team that was 2-10 last year.)
