Central Florida's deadline to appeal its postseason ban is Monday, and UCF spokesperson Grant Heston said the Knights will appeal, despite a financial gamble that could cost the school significantly next season. Once the appeal is officially filed, UCF would be eligible to play in a bowl this season until the NCAA rules on the appeal. However, by appealing the ban, the Knights are potentially gambling a few million dollars in bowl money. And based on the timing of the NCAA's appeal, it could wreck havoc on Conference USA's bowls this year.
