I, personally, would not want anything to do with something called the "Cheez-it Bowl."

And our success has become part of the problem - we don't travel well to begin with, and now we're at the point where anything short of a Rose Bowl and many of our fans stay home. At the margins, the bowls that have a say in the matter don't want a team that can't come close to selling out their seats.

But I totally agree- same bowls over and over only perpetuates the problem. And if the conference wants to maximize overall conference bowl attendance, it should stick the travels-poorly teams (e.g., us) closer to home (e.g., San Diego or Santa Clara).
