Can UTEP solve the border crisis by selling out the Sun Bowl?

If I can stay up til 2 AM watching Hawaii play some WAC team I can watch them play Vandy. Nebraska/Northwestern is a Big 10 conference game and should be good. Frost is on the hot seat so pressures on.

Week 0 is supposed to be an appetizer, not the entree

Couldnt they have given us at least ONE good matchup?


Week 0 is basically only to make the Hawaii season schedule work and offset travel costs.

quote:

Under NCAA Bylaw 17.11.4, FBS and FCS teams cannot play their first contest until the Thursday preceding Labor Day. Beginning in 2016, an exception to this rule was added (Bylaw 17.11.4.1) that allows Hawaii and teams that play in Hawaii, plus their opponents, the option to play one week earlier on the Saturday before Labor Day weekend.

Another NCAA rule, commonly known as the Hawaii Exemption, allows Hawaii and teams that play in Hawaii the opportunity to schedule a 13th game. This helps those schools earn an extra paycheck, gate revenue, etc. to offset the larger cost of traveling to and from the islands.
