Because the organization knows it won't be hosting any late December playoff games in the future because it is doomed, it entered into a six-year agreement with the B1G 10.
The partnership with the MAC is over and the bowl was moved to a little more prestigious date of Dec. 30. One ESPN report speculated the ACC could be tied in, but the company line thus far has been a second team of an at-large origin.
Hopefully it A) pulls better than the 8th place B1G 10 team, since dog-ass teams like that are rarely bowl eligible and seldom played here and B) Gets a decent second conference tie-in. Because after all, if we wanted to watch B1G 10 crossovers with the MAC, we would ... wait, isn't that what the month of September cream-puff scheduling is already for, around here?
