November Ask The Commissioner

[MeanGreen61]

John:

Last year the Sun Belt put two schools in bowl games: North Texas and Troy. However, I understand only one slot is guaranteed as far as the conference goes. Are you trying to secure an automatic second bid for with some bowl game for a Sun Belt Conference school?

Commissioner Waters:

John, last year was only the second time we have had two teams eligible. Until we have two teams eligible on a consistent basis, I am not comfortable obligating conference funds to a bowl game where we might not have a team.

Now with that said, I think we are making real progress on adjusting our schedules so that we are not playing as many “high-profile” games and focusing more on putting people in our own stands. In some ways this is an advantage for us of the new criteria.

Weird, I could have sworn all our OOC games were "high-profile" teams based on the scores.

This one was kind of blah... alot of questions repeated. Some I think have been asked every year since the Belt started such as the question about when WKU is going to join us in football.
