Boston Globe's article on BC's cancelled game devoted more print to the ticket refund procedure than it did on the game. I'm quite sure that BC lost money on that game, but is probably saved by the conference distributions.

Well considering there was <10 mins of game time, there wasn't much action to report on - no?

All you read is shots at these two power conference schools. It gets old. I understand loving Holy Cross but why is their the need to put one down to raise yourself up. In the big picture of college sports ND is the premier catholic institution and BC is not far behind.

unhfan--- what team do you consider to be UNH's biggest rival, the team you want to pound every game, the team you hope loses every game it plays against other opponents?

Dislike of opponents like ND and BC, certainly. Jealousy, not at all. Have you ever heard the parodies that BC used to sing of our Alma Mater? Rivalries do such things. Lighten up, Francis.

Maine is UNH’s biggest rival but it makes sense as their in the same conference. Why have a rival that is going to beat you 9 out of ten times you play? Rivals are not one sided affairs.

There may be a few posters still jealous of BC’s success but for the most part folks this century realize the rivalry ended decades before the current students were even born.

I’m thinking that ND and BC fans aren’t as obsessed with HC. I don't put the shots taken at ND in the same category as those taken at BC. HC never played ND in football even when it had teams (in the 30s and 40s) that could give them a ballgame or two. Some of us root for ND (like me), some do not. They're just like any other major program. In basketball, the only shots taken aren't related to any rivalry, just that a particularly poor former coach of ours was an assistant there and there was some bad feeling (understandable) on the part of their head coach when HC let him go.

I've no idea. Both teams get minimum guaranteed pay-outs. Is there something in the bowl invite paperwork that states that bad weather and a game cancellation automatically makes the pay-outs null and void ? Maybe the bowl organizers/sponsor buy insurance for this, no ? Does the primary local designated charity not get it's check ? I find that hard to believe.

Valid observation....maybe not universal to all here....but certainly see how it could be perceived as jealousy.

My premise is that BC (as do other members of the ACC other than ND) shares some/most? of its bowl appearance payout with the other conference members. UConn lost $1.8 million several years ago playing in the Fiesta Bowl. That loss was subsequently made up by the conference's distribution of broadcast revenues to all football members of the conference.. www.ctpost.com/news/article/Report-UConn-lost-1-8-million-at-Fiesta-Bowl-1038914.php

I’m thinking that ND and BC fans aren’t as obsessed with HC. Holy Cross to ND means their neighbor down the street. BC is no doubt fine with Syracuse as their season ending rival in the ACC. BC hasn't been our rival, nor has there been any reason to hate BC, in over 30 years. Hating on BC now is a bad look; it is transparent jealousy.

Since the word "jealousy" has been used on Crossports a lot lately with reference to BC vis-a-vis Holy Cross, may I suggest that the word folks are probably thinking is really "envy."
BC didn't take anything away from Holy Cross (we gave the relationship up by ourselves, thank you). Some folks here may be envious of BC's success both academically and athletically.

However, I'd be shocked if Boise and BC didn't receive their gurantee $$ and doubly shocked if the charity didn't get anything. I'm thinking the ACC would raise hell if the guarantee wasn't paid.
Yes, the ACC members EACH get a huge 'bowl fund' payout. I'm not sure if Clemson - for obvious reasons - gets a larger cut.

There are insurers who specialize in weather-cancellations of events and I would be shocked if the folks who had their money on the line didn't buy the appropriate insurance to cover their loss so that any guarantees were paid.
Usually these things are made public in the insurance trade papers which I don't get anymore.
I wouldn't lose any sleep that this cancellation cost anyone anything but inconvenience . . . . except the insurer.

This definition of jealousy might work:
The definition of jealousy is a state or feeling of being envious or of wanting what someone else has.
May be exacerbated by a perception that HC once had what BC now has (academic and athletic accomplishments/reputation/relevance).
(Separate and apart from a wistful longing for a long ago rivalry or relationship.)

The plot thickens on the cancelled First Responder Bowl cancellation as I dig a little further. It seems that this is the ServePro First Responder Bowl with the company ServePro being the sponsor. They are one of those companies that come in after you have water or smoke damage and restore your home. They work closely with insurance companies, often getting an assignment from the homeowner so they can bill the insurer directly.
So, you would think that they would be VERY aware of weather-cancellation policies which are relatively inexpensive, especially since this is supposedly the first FBS bowl ever cancelled. Yet, I can't find anything in public that there was an insurance policy. If people don't get back their ticket prices and other expenses, this being the good ole USA, there will be lawsuits aplenty.
