Is it possible that La Tech could lose money on a trip to the Independence Bowl?

I know there are several teams every year that actually pay for the privelege of participating in bowl games, even to the point of paying for tickets for their bands to attend and play as halftime entertainment.

Indy Bowl has a $1.1M payout which is higher than the lowest bowls. The lowest payout is the New Orleans Bowl at $500K and then there are several at $750K.

Seeing as how Tech is what, 50 miles away, and already plays a game just about every year there voluntarily as part of their regular schedule I don't see how they could lose much if any $.

In comparison, these bowls that Tech was hard for: Liberty Bowl payout is $1.4M and Heart of Dallas Bowl is $1.1M...same as Indy and a little further away (if you are pinching pennies).
