This is great news. But, I didn't like the part where it says that if there is a 6-6 SEC or ACC teanm, they can be taken if the matchup is more compelling. BTW....Voy Board Scottie sent me this article, so he gets the credit for finding it.

It doesn't really say who would get bumped in favor of an SEC or ACC team. It could be that the better matchup was between closer SBC and SEC teams to Mobile; or both MAC and SBC knocked out too. I could see a Troy/Ole Miss game drawing a lot more regional fans than a Central Michigan/Boston College game would.

Yeah...but look at the deal strictly from a UNT point of view (not Troy or USA). I'd bet almost all SEC teams are close or closer to Mobile than NT is. So anytime a SEC team is 6-6....I think they would be chosen over US.

And since we aren't really close to Mobile....I could see a Boston College or Va. Tech or Maryland chosen over NT....just because of their name value.

So once again, Wright Waters has a bowl agreement where you have to wait to see what happens with other teams, in other leagues, before knowing if a SBC team would even be considered.

Buzzz. Wrong. Thanks for playing.

Go ahead mark this down. Sun Belt champ is going to Mobile one or two years of the agreement.

The opt-out applies only to the MAC.

The opt-out will only apply when.

1. SEC or ACC have a 6-6 not tied to a bowl game.

2. The MAC representative can be placed in another game.

3. No other 7 or better is out there without a place to go.

Now, tell me quickly. What bowl game with a vacancy is going to say please, please, please, Mobile release your 8 or 9 win MAC team so we can have them? Any bowl worth its salt laughs at Mobile and signs the available SEC or ACC team rather than take the MAC team.

The opt-out is a load of garbage placed in the MAC's agreement so a couple BCS jock sniffers on the Mobile Bowl committee could be appeased. Probably a couple old farts who can't figure out why they can't get SEC #3 or #4 vs. ACC #2 or #3 in the game. Put some meaningless language in the agreement to get them to shut up and keep putting their money in.

At least once and maybe twice Mobile is going to be MAC #1 vs. Sun Belt #2 and we're going to find out just how well this league has grown.

Hope you're right AK.... New Orleans and Mobile are much more appealing the Detroit...

I'm right.

1/2 will go New Orleans and Mobile on some sort of rotation.

We will sign 2-3 backup deals between New Mexico, the new Dallas game, Detroit, and whomever gets SEC #9.

For the 2010-13 bowl cycle will be guaranteed two bowl teams and most years will get three and might sneak in a fourth.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
