Do the Big Ten teams split all of the payouts by each bowl game among all of the Big teams? The payout for this game is $6.4 million though not sure that is the total or for each team.
We do -- but only after paying all expenses first.Yes, we split everything with the Big 10 members. Which has paid off for us a ton over time...
I get sitting out for Georgia Tech. I don't get not playing against Auburn on Jan. 1st.Hopefully our seniors all play in the game so we can see them one last time. Great for recruiting in the South - you beat Auburn and you gain a lot of notoriety. This will be a very tough test for the Gophers but it should be a fun game to see!
Why are you here? Yuck.The problem is that I see some fans saying to bring on Auburn. Yet, if we get destroyed, in a little over three weeks, it won’t be so fun
I’m already going to be in Orlando, which is why I wanted Citrus Bowl. Tampa is close so I may make the drive over.Very cool! Looking for flights to Tampa and trying to talk family into making the trip!

Us too!!!Already have our hotel room! Go Gophers!!
Not sure Naples has it's own airport, but Fort Myers does (RSW). Our family has taken 3 trips to Orlando and or Sanibel and used all 3 of those airports (we often will visit 2 places in one trip). Orlando and Tampa are about a 45 min. - hour drive if you don't hit any major traffic. Ft. Myers is I think closer to 2 hours from Tampa. Nice to have 3 options. The city of Tampa is kind of a dump, but there are parts on the ocean that are nicer. Ft Myers area is nice.Flights to Orlando or Naples would not be too bad either.
Compared to the Rose Bowl...
Tampa's warmer. The sea and beach around it are warmer.
Tampa's less expensive.
The Gophers opponent is better (beat Oregon H2H on a neutral field)
Let's get it!
It’s only the second time the Gophers will be playing on NYD in 50 years.The problem is that I see some fans saying to bring on Auburn. Yet, if we get destroyed, in a little over three weeks, it won’t be so fun
Yes, RSW. My sister has a place in Naples, that is why that came out of my shrinking brain.Not sure Naples has it's own airport, but Fort Myers does (RSW).

Yes - as someone who annually participates in a bowl game pick em, I can tell you they are often just a crap shoot. Much more unpredictable than a regular season game.True, but that is still a padelling! But, I have now been to enough of these bowl games that I know that sometimes various teams just do not show up very well at all.
Best Bowl game since 1962 Rose Bowl. Not bad.It’s only the second time the Gophers will be playing on NYD in 50 years.
Stop with the nonsense. It will be fun no matter what
I know. This handwringing over who the opponent might be, who the opponent is and what the outcome might be is dumbfounding.Best Bowl game since 1962 Rose Bowl. Not bad.
Isn't the Citrus technically 'slotted' higher?Best Bowl game since 1962 Rose Bowl. Not bad.
