Hat Tip to my pal NT03 for this info:

Probably a dumb question, but what happens if Army or BYU do not meet the minimum number of wins to even qualify for a bowl?

SUMG · January 30, 2020

Deep....the same thing that happens now....when conferences like the ACC and SEC couldn't fill their bowl slots. (over there). They just go down to alternative conferences.

I would love to play BYU in this bowl game. Of course, I'd love to play BYU in the regular season, too...

Saw NTSU play Brigham Young in the Cotton Bowl in the seventies. Golden Richards played for BY, Dallas Cowboys before being charged for indecent exposure in Dallas. Oh, yes.....we lost.

I think that there were about 300 people at the game vs. BYU back in the seventies...I was one of those people. BYU smoked us that night.

It wasn't Golden Richards who was charged with indecent exposure. It was Lance Rentzel.

Pretty sure everyone in the seventies exposes themselves to someone indecently.

I stand corrected and my sincere apologies to Golden Richards.

I don't know. The last time I saw North Texas play Brigham Young, BYU happened to have a wide receiver named Golden Richards He gave us fits all night long!

Personal life[edit]

In April 1969, Rentzel married Joey Heatherton, an actress, dancer, and singer, in New York City.^[23] In November 1970, Rentzel was arrested for exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl.^[24] He pled guilty to the charge and promised to undergo psychiatric treatment and was given a suspended sentence. Afterwards, fans started calling Rentzel "No-Pants Lance" and making jokes like, "Don’t worry, even if we are down late, I’m sure Lance will pull it out sooner or later." Heatherton filed for divorce in September 1971 and it became final in 1972.^[25]^[23] Rentzel later wrote a book, When All the Laughter Died in Sorrow, reflecting upon those events.^[26]

^{It seems that this wasn't the first time that Lance had done something like this.Which was why Minnesota was willing to trade him. When Joey Heatherton was interviewed after the court hearing she indicated in the interview that she was aware of his proclivities and (according to my best friend who saw the interview) the interview ended abruptly after she said "but, we thought we had the problem licked".}
