How crazy this will be UK's 2nd best bowl (behind Mumme's Outback bowl in 1998) in modern era. Beats out all of Brook's bowls which were essentially Music City and one Independence bowl.

In terms of bowl payouts, this was a top-10 bowl before the formation of the College Football Playoff. Now, the TaxSlayer Bowl pays out $2.75 million, which is now tied with the Music City Bowl for the 14th-biggest payout.

It’s also almost $500,000 more than the Russell Athletic Bowl, which is where Louisville is now projected to land after being a lock for the Orange Bowl (pays about $18 million) before UK beat them.
