You have to buy tickets and parking, its not a part of the season ticket package.Posted On: Nov 7th 2017, 3:14 PM #372909
But you get the rights to your season tickets just like to Boca Bowl.
GO OWLS!

Here's the deal. "IF" we have the the choice for which bowl we're going to. We are choosing the one against the highest ranked opponent. Just take my word on that one.Posted On: Nov 7th 2017, 9:03 PM #372912

I think it will be a combination of highest ranked and biggest name.
If I am Kiffen and have a chance to go to a bowl vs somebody like UF…I'm taking that shot.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

There are some big assumptions that a CUSA team will get that chance. Of the bowls the conference has tie-ins to (including secondary), the Heart of Dallas seems like the option for money ($1.2M) and brand-name opponent (Big10/Big12/PAC12). What would play in our favor to land something outside of the tie-ins is the recognition and publicity (curiosity) Kiffin would lend to the bowl. But we need to win out to make any of that talk realistic.

Owlsdad, you have to also take into consideration the expenses incurred for the bowl trip. Getting $300k more to go to Heart of Dallas is probably not worth it over St Pete where travel expenses will be way cheaper etc. Have to think of the net. But saying this, I too agree that biggest team and net amount of money earned are my 2 biggest factors.Posted On: Nov 10th 2017, 2:05 PM #372973
Well I'd assume the payout would more than cover the cost of traveling to a better bowl.

Boca - $400k
St. Pete - $537.5k
New Orleans - $500k
New Mexico - $456.25k
Bahamas - $450k
Heart of Dallas - $800k (saw it listed as high as $1.2M)
Independence - $1.15M
Belk - $1.7M
I think some of those numbers can go down if the original conference (SEC/ACC etc.) get replaced by a CUSA or "lesser" league. So money-wise, if you aren't getting to a bowl like one of those last 3 there really isn't a significant difference in all the other CUSA tie-in games. Given all that, if we aren't up for a "bigger bowl" and get to choose from the first 4 in the list St. Pete makes the most sense - biggest payout and lowest cost except for staying at home.
