| | The Seattle Times: Sports: Bowl organizers seek NCAA's OK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | They hope to revive a postseason game at Seahawks Stadium, a concept that began with the first Seattle Bowl in 2001, continued in 2002 but died a quiet death when certification was denied last spring. |
 | | That, combined with the uncertainty over whether the game here would even be certified again, he said, led his bowl to OK the name change (which it traded for a year's extension of the sponsorship). |
 | | The suit alleges the NCAA, in its bowl certification process, fosters "anti-competitive effects." It contends the required payout of $750,000 prevented Aloha Sports from negotiating payouts based on factors like desirability of playing in Hawaii, and claims the requirement of a winning record kept the University of Hawaii out of the game, thus crimping attendance. |
