The SEC Having Trouble Selling Bowl Tickets

The Florida Gators were asked to sell 17,500 tickets to their Sugar Bowl game in New Orleans this past January -- well, a ticket sales shortfall is being blamed on their $840,000 financial loss on the game.

And, apparently Florida was not the only school in the SEC that couldn't sell bowl tickets.  The problem is so concerning that the SEC's Commissioner is going to ask the BOWLS to reduce the number of tickets they have to buy.

Now you know why NOTRE DAME is such a valued a commodity with ALL of the Bowl Games!
