Something\'s Rotten in Nashville
Someone is lying about what went down with the Music City Bowl.
It's either our AD or Virginia's AD. You make the call:

U.Va. and Minnesota each will receive an allotment of 10,000 tickets. Littlepage hopes Virginia will sell more than that, but he said he made no promises to Music City officials, and they didn't ask for any.
"We just don't go down that road," Ramsey said. "We've never been in a bidding war with anybody, and that was the case here."

"We have the Web sites, and we have the postcards, and we have everything else," Braine said. "It comes down to one school outbidding another school. When you have a 7-4 record which is better than Virginia's, and when you have a 5-3 conference record which is better than Virginia's, you shouldn't have to buy a game.
"Until the ACC does something about bowls taking schools because of the number of tickets they'll sell and fans they'll bring, we'll have this situation."
Braine said he told Ramsey Tech would buy 20,000 tickets and bring 10,000-12,000 fans.
