Of course they do, as a team. As a program they don't due to the head of the program being a complete arrogant dumbass.

I gotta be honest -- they probably deserve a trip this year more than Purdue or Minnesota do. (ignoring all the contractual conference tie-ins)

But, ignoring all the tie-ins is purely delusional of the AD and other school administrations part. I feel terrible for their players that worked hard all season to go to a bowl. Still, the underlying message is we will never play ULM even in a bowl game. Tech is ignorant not taking advantage of the media coverage they would have received and yes the national media interest. ESPN could sell that hate rivalry I promise you. It would had been an awesome bowl with over 100 points scored easily.

Tech has some sort of complex. I mean LSU was regularly playing in the Independence Bowl during the 90's (3 times I believe). It's extra practice, money and promotion the AD basically threw away.
