Who, sitting at home watching on TV, really cares if the stadiums are more than half empty? TV revenue is what counts. I'm sitting here switching between two games an enjoying watching.
It seems to me that the only concern from a financial standpoint is for universities that have to commit to buying thousands of tickets that they can't sell. But that's their problem to solve, along with the groups that organize the bowls. That will continue to be a problem as long as people can buy cheaper on the secondary market than from the schools. But if the schools want to keep going along, so what if two 6-6 teams go off and play in a bowl? Seems like a good experience for the players that they enjoy.
