To illustrate how important a bowl bid is to a college football team, University of Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell was on a home recruiting visit when he dialed in to a conference call promoting the Dec. 31 Military Bowl in Annapolis, Maryland.
The Bearcats accepted a bid to the bowl Sunday and will face Virginia Tech in a rematch of 2014's Military Bowl. Hokies coach Justin Fuente also joined the call.
