The decision has to be approved. TSN had it last week:

What happens if the MEAC pulls out in favor of the Legacy Bowl?

What happens if the MEAC pulls out in favor of the Legacy Bowl?

That would probably depend on when the MEAC makes such a decision. If it's early enough, and the first Legacy Bowl were in 2011, then the final approval of an autobid could shift to the Pioneer League. If too late (and I assume there's some deadline in place), then the Pioneer would get the bid after resubmitting for 2012
