No changes for the ACC
as of yet with the Bowls. Everybody has contracts & legal matters to watch out for. BC & Mia are still presently party to a lawsuit alleging they plotted to harm the Big E.
Probably the best the ACC can hope for this yr is that some Bowl, either a Big E tie-in or other, will not be able to fill their slots.
The Continental Tire Bowl has been a big success & means a LOT to the ACC in ACC country. The Tangerine Bowl has been a huge disappointment & will not get any better til they move their play date to a weekend or to after Christmas. The Tangerine also has a bad tie-in with the Big 12, which brings virtually zero fans to Orlando, nor does it generate any interest in Orlando.
I like the idea of the GMAC, but I like the Outback even better. ACC/SEC in the Outback.
