Message: [QUOTE="Orangemen, post: 289829, member: 106"] This is a good idea. This is the kind of outside the box forward thinking that the BE probably lacked. Bowls are about ratings and tickets. Nobody does either better than ND. This bowl is a guaranteed sell out every year, and a guaranteed high ratings grabber. It's likely that ND will never be in the top 4 tourney, and it's also likely that ND will be at least 8-4 most years. This means that most of the time they will be good enough to draw an audience, but not good enough to go to the top 4 tourney. Also, given NBC's ties to ND, you can bet you will have 2 very interested bidders in the TV rights. Given what's out there, this is a really nice solution. [/QUOTE]
