I agree, I think this is where "the rubber really meets the road" on conference perception. We've heard from some, that with OuT leaving, the Big12 lost a lot of clout. If BY and team can line up some nice bowls that can quite some of the 'less than' talk.Seems like this Indy Bowl is just a short term thing with getting in through BYU?
It will be interesting in the future with our new commish to see what kind of better bowl lineup he can get for our conference.
It is a total dumpI went to both Indy Bowls when ISU played.
I absolutely hated Shreveport. What a **** small city.
If State were to go back to that bowl, would I go again?
Yes, I'm pretty stupid about bowl games.

Massive Sh*thole gets closer.It is a total dump
Po’boys and casinos. That is the only thing I remember liking about Shreveport. The rest was like a trip to Ft Dodge.One of the trips to Shreveport (Alabama game i believe and the kick was good), my dad and I were to drive all night. He was asleep, I was listening to late night AM radio (short stories, self-published stuff) and reports came in about the tsunami in Asia. I ended up driving all night as the reports kept me alert and awake. Crazy news.
Shreveport didn’t show me anything worth hanging around for.
That’s called leading with your chin.Years ago a co-worker from a southern district asked me if i was going to the ISU bowl game in Shreveport. Told him Louisiana was the butt-hole of the country and Shreveport was the butt-hole of Louisiana so, no, I was not going. He than tells me Shreveport was his home town. Ah, oops.
I can deal with that! Hell, I'll. 50 cents a beerIf they do another Johnny Orr Tailgate with $0.25 beers, I'm in.
Please just get me a good bowl out west! I would love a California bowl for the big 12Seems like this Indy Bowl is just a short term thing with getting in through BYU?

The bowls may not factor into the playoff after 2026 at all. The agreements they made were just too buy out the last two years of the original contract.Between all of the NY6 bowls becoming CFP games, and conference realignment, there's likely to be a fair amount of shuffling for 2026.
If the Big 12 is just absorbing BYU's bowl agreements, that would mean Independence in '23 and '25, and an "ESPN Events" bowl in '24.
