[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 189402, member: 2426"] The point I was trying to make is that the "significant loses" are the only effect of creative accounting. VT showed a $420k loss, however going by their share of the Orange Bowl alone, they had a $1.2 million profit. If you go to the Sun Bowl, the share of the revenue is only about $140,000, so it would not cover a $420,000 deficit. However, if you don't go, every team in the ACC would lose the $140,000 that they would have gained had the team had gone. If three ACC teams decided not to go, you would lose more revenue than your loss for attending a low tier bowl. As you pointed out, there are many advantages to going to a bowl game. The coaches would probably be willing to spend $400k to have an extra three weeks of practice. I have seen basketball teams decide not to go to a lower level basketball tournament, but I don't recall teams declining bowl games except for instances where they sit out to try to avoid NCAA sanctions later.
