I remember a few years ago Uconn spent like $4 million to attend the Fiesta Bowl. Ohio University cannot do that. Detroit or Mobile are our best bets.
Of course, we have to win the next game first.
Please do not spread misinformation. The MAC would get a huge payday out of this. When other non-AQ schools have made the BCS, I believe their conference has given them half of the revenue. In 2010, when Boise St. and TCU both made it, the Mountain West and WAC got $9.8M and $7.8M respectively. That would be more than enough to make Ohio whole if it didn't sell a ticket. I'll try to find more info on the split but let's not start an "Ohio will lose $4M" scare. Non-AQ schools have done very well with selling BCS Bowl tickets and with the revenue derived.

According to the USA Today, Boise St. posted profits of $2.8M and $1.8M respectively for the 2007 and 2010 Fiesta Bowls. The WAC gave Boise St. $3.2M of the $7.8M it received from the BCS payout in 2010.
And while UConn lost $1.7M on the 2011 Fiesta Bowl because they could only sell 2,800 tickets, they do get a split of the conference's $30M in Bowl revenue which makes them whole.
