Which one is worse?

Are they the same? I would think what I've heard from those around the I-Bowl committee was a perceived arrogance when La Tech asked for two more hours because they were in the running for a couple more prestigious bowls. The I-Bowl decided they already had one local team so they hung up on La Tech and then called Ohio. It would be the equivalent of LSU asking the NIT to wait until after the selection for the NCAA tournament and the NIT just bypassing them and being left out.

LSU because it is a national story is probably worse, whereas La Tech was a regional sports blip that the nation forgot after the 24 hour news cycle. LSU and Ben Simmons not playing post-season basketball will be in the national news longer and won't be forgotten as quickly.
