OK so I found the CUSA bowl tie ins:

Autozone Liberty

Bell Helicopter Armed Forces

Sheraton Hawaii

R+L New Orleans

Texas Bowl Houston

EagleBank Bowl in Washington DC

Plus I didn't realize how many games CUSA had on TV. From meangreensports.com

The C-USA TV package had nearly 70 football games broadcast nationally or regionally in 2011. The networks were CBS Sports Network, Fox Sports Net, FX, ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN U, CSS and others. That doesn't include ESPN3 games or other potential television partners. Suffice to say, you won't have any excuses for not being able to watch North Texas anymore.

CUSA tv deal is with CBS and FOX. Most UNT games will be on Fox Sports Southwest or CBS Sports Network. There won't be any home games on any of the ESPN networks or ABC. This is all subject to change if the MWC and CUSA do some sort of joint tv negotiations in the future. That bowl info is old, here is more up to date info.

Liberty Bowl Memphis, Tennessee SEC 7/82

Hawai'i Bowl Honolulu, Hawaii Mountain West

Armed Forces Bowl Fort Worth, Texas at-large (2012), Navy (2013)

New Orleans Bowl New Orleans, Louisiana Sun Belt

Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl St. Petersburg, Florida Big East

TicketCity Bowl Dallas, Texas Big Ten

There is also a chance to play in the Military Bowl in DC depending on the year. The Liberty Bowl is going with Memphis to the Big East.

Well as a UT, SMU and UNT alum, I have made it a point to know where my teams could be playing because I try to go to all of their bowl games so I don't really need sources because I know it firsthand but if I must.

Eaglebank bowl in DC is now the Military Bowl and has been since 2010 and features Army vs. an ACC. If Army doesn't qualify then a CUSA team will be picked

http://www.militarybowl.org/

Texas Bowl in Houston is now Meineke Car Care Bowl for over a year. It is a Big 10 vs. Big 12 game. CUSA use to tie into the game but not since 2008.

http://espn.go.com/n...page/texas-bowl

St. Petersburg Bowl is now the Beef O Brady's Bowl. CUSA vs. Big East

http://www.stpetersburgbowl.com/

Ticketcity Bowl in Dallas. CUSA vs. Big Ten

http://ticketcitybow...ce_partners.php

Regarding the tv contract, you will see that they no longer have a contract with ESPN. If a game is going to be on ESPN or one of their affiliates it is going to have to be an away game with a conference that has a deal with them unless it is the CUSA title game which was given to ESPN in a settlement.

UNT did a bad job when putting this article on the website. They are using old bowl logos and listing bowl games that are no longer affiliate with CUSA. They didn't even mention the Tickeycity Bowl and that is the highest paying bowl in CUSA. All of this may be moot anyway as these things change sometimes on a yearly basis and by the time UNT is in CUSA half the bowls could be different. As for the Liberty Bowl, you can take my word for it or just wait to see but Memphis is taking CUSA tie in with it to the Big East similar to how the Hawaii bowl took the Hawaii bowl WAC tie in to the MWC. The SEC hates that it plays a Non-AQ conf champ in a bowl game and tries to weasel out of it every year either by having a SEC team find another bowl to play in or exercising an option that switches a Big East team with a CUSA. This is how SMU ended up in the BBVA compass bowl in Birmingham and Cincinnati and Vanderbilt ended up playing in the Liberty bowl.

Bowl realignment follows conference realignment.

Fort Worth bowl, Independnece bowl, and Potato bowl could all be looking for new tie-ins.

CUSA Bowls from the all knowing wikipedia

Hawaii Bowl vs MWC #3 or HI

Armed Forces Bowl vs Navy (2013)

New Orleans Bowl vs SBC #2

      Texas Tech season tickets sold out this year

      The purple-hairs and protestors are probably not hard core Mean Green sports fans. Is being a liberal arts school to blame? Part of the issue is management just letting the programs sell themselves. More investment in marketing to the public and Alums instead of students has always been needed here. I feel lack of fan support really goes deeper than the current makeup of the student body. Part of it is not ever having a Medical school, Law school, or Engineering school on the Denton campus. Grads of those majors earn huge salaries, much more than Education or Arts majors. Thus they are more likely to give back more to Athletics.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      Times are changing with NIL and Portal. The players are being lured with $$. It may be time for hard contracts with buyouts to bind them to teams (schools), like NFL players. If a P5 wants them, then a buyout in the contract specifies what they owe the losing school. Same as with buying out a scheduled game. But there are more schools in FBS like us than not like us. It's a normal reaction to want to spend more funds on a successful sport, like basketball is right now at NT. At some schools basketball is terrible but the football is good, or baseball is good. ECU fans couldn't wait to be done with basketball because their baseball was ranked pre-season. But it's a chicken-egg thing. Why is our basketball now successful when it wasn't for many seasons with Benford and Trilli, even with good players? Better players, coaches? Yes to both. What is most important? Yes again to both. What needs to stay if one leaves. That would be the coach needs to stay. Coaching is the best investment a school can make....not money to players.
