I'm just hoping that someone with a brain in Madison is watching this game and considering it an unofficial tryout for Eck.
I was thinking the same thing.

Oh, and on ND:

since they're too good to participate in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, a new bowl will be created just for them.  

The Toast 'Ems Bowl.

The generic alternative to Pop-Tarts, with a jankier, more cringe mascot walking around.  
Instead of Orlando, it will be held in FIU's 20,000 seat Pitbull Stadium.

And from 2026-on, it will be the bowl hosting the worst 2 bowl-eligible teams available.

ND isn't part of a conference.  The $500K fine is coming from the conference for refusing to participate in an event that the member school is contractually obligated to participate in via conference bylaws.

Instead, Notre Dame is forfeiting the $3M they would have received as their half of the Pop Tarts bowl game payout.

But I thought ND was still part of the ACC bowls contract.  ND is obligated to play in an ACC contract bowls. 

This is why they were slated to play in the Pop Tarts Bowl.  They wanted to put BYU and ND in a bowl together because they were the first 2 teams left out of the CFP.  And the Pop Tarts bowl contract is supposed to match an ACC team or Notre Dame against a Big 12 school.

With all that said, I have no idea what the penalty is for Notre Dame not accepting a bowl bid.

I suspect that this "agreement" is entirely one-sided, and only benefits Notre Dame when they feel like it, rather than the ACC, like everything else Notre Dame does with the ACC.

Since both sides have decided to attack each other in the media and air all of their dirty laundry, I'm pretty certain we would have heard about any such penalty already, if it existed.  Since we haven't, I'm assuming there's no penalty.

ND has no rules.  That's why everyone hates them.

Rate Bowl confirms that it would have been Minnesota vs Iowa St. If Iowa St would not have decl8ned going to a bowl.

Since the start of the season, I was planning on driving up to attend the LA Bowl, regardless of who the opponents were, just to have an excuse to see Sofi Stadium. But with Arizona landing in the Holiday Bowl, I'm diverting my Bowl trip home. There's always next year, right?

Turns out not.

As reported by Brett McMurphy, the LA Bowl will close shop after tonight's game between Washington and Boise State:

"The bowl’s current 6-year contract concludes after this season."

"The bowl’s fate was ultimately decided when conference realignment gutted the Pac-12 and the league lost 10 schools to the Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC."

"Besides the LA Bowl, the Bahamas Bowl also will not continue."
