ECU to hawaii sucks, I can't go and neither will anyone else.

 

Oh well.

 

No shit. I wonder what the payout is verses what it would cost to send the team?

 

I would think break even at best. Would make for a nice vacation though.

 

I doubt many Fresno State fans will either.

 

The payout for the Hawai'i Bowl presented by Sheridan is $398,000. At least, thats what it was last year according to wikipedia.

 

Actually, a lot of bowls end up costing more for the team than the payout covers. It's the exposure and the benefit to recruiting that make it worth while.
