Peach Bowl Officials Seek Higher TV Pay from CBS
Peach Bowl officials in Atlanta say the postseason game deserves more money from CBS. The three year contract with CBS expired after the 1980 Miami Hurricanes versus Virginia Tech Hokies game with CBS paying 200000 for rights, below Sun Bowl and Fiesta Bowl fees. The bowl reached 8770000 homes last year and seeks a higher offer, while CBS has proposed a new deal far above current terms.
