False...

But many in the country are laughing at Tech for not accepting the bowl/ upset for the seniors/ think the AD is dumb thanks to Malone

And N.ILL is as much or more the anti bowl example as tech this year

It is 100% on Tech. They know the rules in place, did they not? They made the decision to stall on the Independence Bowl, did they not?

100% the fault of Louisiana Tech's AD. He knew the rules in place, made a gamble, it blew up in his face. It is ALL on him. No one else can be blamed.

2 verbal offers. Neither in writing = No offers apparently.

It's not really a gamble when you are guaranteed something.

I guess the gamble was that he was unaware he was negotiating with a liar.

It's not a guarantee unless it's in writing.

No offers then. Indy Bowl may have put it in writing later, but we gambled that the Liberty Bowl would do that too.

There's a difference between "accept this and we'll make the invite public in 30 seconds" and "yeah, yeah we'll invite you tomorrow or something"

There is no reason to say yes if the bowl you want to go to is saying they are going to invite you.

Y'all are looking at this in hindsight. He was making decisions with bogus information.

More facts start coming out. Non-Tech fans jumped to conclusions and are ignoring the facts.
