Bowl Game Projections

I honestly don’t know if they want someone who travels. The only way these bowls make money is off tickets and sponsorship deals
The Camping World Bowl is operated by a non-profit (FCS) and from the Bowl's website:
"Florida Citrus Sports (FCSports or FCS) is a not-for-profit membership organization dedicated to increasing community spirit and pride, promoting tourism, stimulating economic development and ultimately benefiting charities, educational institutions and the quality of life in Central Florida through its signature events."
As tourism is listed very highly (as it is for many bowls) a well-traveled school from out of the bowl area brings in a load of tourism dollars.
This. I guarantee they looked back at how many fans we brought to the Insight Bowl in 2009 after a several year bowl drought. The Insight Bowl picked us ahead of a couple teams who finished better than us (Missery fans were pissed). They are likely looking at it the same way this year too, heck I think the fans are more excited this year than in 2009 and more willing to travel. Plus Orlando isn't as far of a drive as Tempe was.
And im assuming a lot of the sponsorship deals are paid by local businesses that would benefit from an influx of tourism money.
If we beat K-State we'll get Camping World Bowl against a pretty good 8-4 Wake Forest team. And we'll win by a TD.
Yep a new deal with the Big 12 and a move up the pecking order. Bigger bowl payout.
I'd have to jump through a ton of hoops to make a bowl trip work, but I'd try like to hell to make it happen if we went to the Alamo bowl.
Liberty is a much more prestigious bowl than it was when we originally went. Committee significantly increased bowl payout and signed agreement with Big 12.
We'd swamp the Alamo Bowl and San Antonio. Straight shot down I-35. Jack Trice South. Bowl hungry fan base. Nice weather, great tourist destination. Reasonable prices. I'd take it but not counting on it.
Have to win @ K-State which is going to be tough. If we don't think we are heading to Memphis.
I can always watch from the hospital because she is have a C-section on the 26th. Our 3rd little Cyclone! But she did say I can take my son if we play the Liberty Bowl on the 30th but I'm betting it's going to be Orlando.
My family and I will go wherever its going to be. Even if they take game to the moon, If ISU gets there, we are going too. I personally don't want it to be in Tennessee because we would rather go there in the summer for a separate vacation.

I don't know who Bryan Fischer is, but he currently has Texas in the Alamo Bowl.

If Texas wins next week, I would not be shocked. Texas always gets a bump for being Texas.
