Last payouts are listed for all bowls.
Independence pays more than Military. The Kraft Bowl some people were wanting it really crappy.
The pecking order is by payout, not whether people want to travel there.
I also keep repeating for good measure that you CAN fly to within an hour of Shreveport for about the same price as Dallas (Longview, TX.) That is not that far as some city airports are that far from downtown anyway.
Wondering why mapquest says it is a 10-11 hour drive and GTAA is claiming it is an 8 hour drive on the website.;)
