The whole situation hinges on exactly what was said by the Liberty Bowl to him on that second conversation (did they indeed say they were taking LaTech no matter what or did they merely reinforce what they had been telling LaTech - that they're in unless a Big12 team was available?)

Dear La Tech:

You were the third place in the WAC. You were lucky to be even sniffing a bowl game and the fact you told a bowl committee that you wanted to wait for a prettier prom date is hysterical by itself. The payout for the Liberty and Independence Bowl is comparable ($1.7m per team vs. $1.1m per team in 2011). Maybe it's time to admit you really\, really, really did not want to play ULM.

I will be waiting for the lawsuit against the Liberty Bowl for breach of contract since Tech was being selected regardless of whether a Big 12 school was available, but I will not hold my breath.

Spurning the Indy Bowl and calling-out the Liberty Bowl in the same week...this guy is burning every bridge in sight!

Good luck ever getting another bowl in the future.
