I thought I heard they were adding more bowls? Up to 40.
Heard what sounded like that on the radio, so I could be wrong.

They are gradually adding more. 40 have been approved but I don't know what year that starts. 2016 or 17 I think
80 teams making bowl games
I have no clue how the shite tier bowl games are profitable to sponsor

Point stands.
When it does reach that amount, it will be 80 out of 120 (or so) teams eligible.
The NCAA tournament takes the conference champions, so really the at large field is 36 teams.
With 40 bowls you are talking about 2/3rds of teams making post season play.
19% make the NCAA's or 11.5% get an at large bid.
Some may argue about how good of a bowl it is, but no one acts like making a bowl game isn't an accomplishment.
