With Saturday’s win over Cincinnati, Memphis clinched a berth in this season’s New Year’s Six. They’ll likely find themselves in the Cotton Bowl.
This is a great showcase opportunity for the program. They’ll get to show fans and recruits what their program is about. In short, a NY6 bowl is awesome free advertising for the university, the city, and the football program.
Still, as important is the money that comes from a trip to the NY6. This is especially true as a G5 team who comes from microscopic media deals compared to P5 programs. So, it’s worth taking a look at what type of pay day is coming Memphis’ way.
