They probably won't, but they should. No, they really shouldn't. You don't get offered a month of practice to help develop players and just say "no thanks". not to mention the money that the school gets from the bowl game can go to other athletic programs, and you'd be turning down a bowl in the midwest that your fans could very easily go to. plus they'd be filling up a stadium in a region where the economy is in the toilet. but by all means, turn it down because it's "below notre dame football" to play in that bowl. Notre Dame would probably lose money accepting a bid to that game.
