Seems like there was some back-and-forth between the game, CUSA, and maybe some CUSA teams.
What was going on? I've speculated about it a little. There was a guy from Chicago tweeting that CUSA was "holding up" the bowl selection process, and that they were trying to find a home for LA Tech.
A pretty decent destination was eventually found for Tech, in Frisco, TX, but certainly they'd have rather gone to Shreveport... I think. There was some drama between Tech and that bowl in 2012, when Tech tried to buy time with the bowl and ended up staying home.
There was a lot going on there. I don't pretend to understand it, but I'm open to being educated.
