Interesting read. My take is this - if you are clearly saying that you will NOT pick anyone but a local team (like the Mieneke Charlotte Bowl), then here's ther rule - you get last pick in the bowl list. You don't get to pick until EVERYONE else has gone through the teams they want. Don't care how much money you put up. That's it. You want to be a local bowl and not a conference bowl, then the REAL conference bowls get first dibs.
