I wish it would hurt the SEC's money intake. It's stupid to shove LSU down the bowl pecking order just because two other East teams have recently or will recently play Clemson (South Carolina, Georgia).
LSU should be the 4th SEC pick, and not the 6th. Screw the bowls, I don't care if they lose money. I have nothing against the Chick-Fil A bowl... if LSU finished 6th in the SEC. But LSU did not finish 6th.
LSU vs Michigan in the Outback was the perfect matchup, or LSU truly earned the Cotton Bowl slot, but the SEC only cared about "protecting" Georgia. I guess a Les Miles vs. Michigan matchup wouldn't draw any interest, or for the 12th year in a row Texas A&M can play Oklahoma.

The players would probably rather play in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta than in Orlando and probably Tampa.
Other than the Cotton Bowl, BCS, or Sugar Bowl, it probably would have been tough for the school to sell out tickets.
This is not as much that people don't want to attend the game because they are mad at the SEC. This is more about a sign of the times that people are having to be VERY CAREFUL about how they spend their money.

Guess LSU fans don't travel so well. Proof that LSU fans (myself included as I am not going to the game either) are spoiled. We went the 2005 Peach Bowl with a 10-2 record (biggest difference was we actually won the West and still played in Peach Bowl). Move forward to 2012 and fans are pissed about having (not getting) to go to the Chik-Fil-A Bowl.
This bowl is in danger of not selling out for the first time in over 15 years.
