The Hawaii Bowl will take UH whether or not they are in the WAC

About how the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl will take UH as long as they are bowl eligible no matter if they are in the WAC or not, Starwood Hotels VP Keith Vieira said:
"I think during these trying (economic) times, as we go through difficult decisions on what schedules and conferences are going to lay ahead of us, we want to make sure coach and the team knows we have their back." (HSA)


About how the Hawaii Bowl will be there for UH whether or not it is in the WAC, Pete Derzis (senior VP of ERT) said:
"Our intent is to go where UH goes." (HSA)


Thankful for the support by ESPN and Sheraton, JD said:
"I can't thank you enough for stepping up and the statement you are making by the extension of three years." (HSA)


HSA Note: "Derzis said he and Donovan have had "general discussion about (other) opportunities" but said it was "very premature" to reveal them. He said ERT and UH have not discussed a possible TV contract, since the school is still covered by its WAC agreement. A separate TV deal would be necessary for UH to help underwrite independence."
