Actually, outside UB & UConn fans almost nobody will watch this game on January 3rd. It will be on directly opposite the AFC wildcard game which starts a half hour later. Pittsburgh/Georgetown & Tennessee/Kansas college hoops game are also on at the same time.

Lesser bowls are supposed to be played prior to Jan 1st. Had this game been played on 12/21, 12/22, 12/29 it would have a much wider audience.
