We're talking about a known outcome. Vegas Bowl vs Hawaii experience.
1. Millions of bowl dollars. We're actually, like BFM says, talking about this once every 5-10 years. So the millions actually comes out to "hundreds of thousands of dollars a year" in my Dr Evil voice. On a $20M budget and compared to the increase in tickets and TV revenue long term an exciting schedule would bring, it's nothing.
2. Excitement. Yes, it would fun to anticipate and pre-game day would be a blast. 5 minutes into the game it becomes uncomfortable, and the sickness of getting embarassed in our ONE national time in the spotlight pretty much washes out the pregame excitement.
3. Exposure. Honestly is Hawaii better off today for the exposure it had last year. I think people saw it for what it was. They had a pretty good team, they gamed the system, and got exposed for being pretenders. Not sure they're any better for it today.
