Yes, but it'll never happen.

Too much money and exposure involved.

Yes, but despite what Emmert says the NCAA makes too much money off it.

No.
But when the play off goes to 8 (or more) teams, the lower bowls should be location of those games.

The NCAA doesn't make anything off the bowls. But most of the schools do, and those that don't are willing to eat ticket allotments for the exposure.
If the schools want to play them, I'm more than happy to watch them. But there's a bowl between conference opponents that isn't even being nationally televised, and that tells me we've reached the point of oversaturation.

Number of bowls needs to be cut down. I remember when 8-3 was questionable about getting you in. It once actually did reward good seasons. Now, I wouldn't brag about getting to a bowl. If you make it 7 win minimum you are gonna have a hard time filling them.

6 wins is fine, but don't count non P5 games.

According to an NCAA budget released Feb. 15, the Indianapolis-based group expected to rake in $757 million through TV and marketing rights fees, championship revenue and other services.
Nearly 60 percent of the NCAA's revenue will be distributed directly to its Division I members, according to its budget, with approximately $120 million earmarked for grants-in-aid and another $60 million for student assistance.

According to the NCAA, it spends $30.6 million -- about 4 percent of its entire budget -- on administrative expenses and staff salaries.
Everytime you see one of those bowl games on TV, a percentage of that is going to NCAA offices.

I wish but money talks.

......and BS walks....and that's what most of the lower tier bowls are. Would be better to cut it down to 7-5.

If you can ever figure out how to do away with the pesky capitalism thing, then you may be on to something.
The Birmingham Bowl is a lower tiered bowl (perhaps the lowest) and they'll make a hefty profit this year and so will local businesses.
No way you'll ever convince someone that making money is bad idea.

If you do that, you eliminate 15 teams from consideration, effectively removing 8 bowls from the lineup.
Not a bad idea at all considering there's actually a bowl with 2 teams from the same conference playing each other (Nevada vs. Colorado State) this season.

Initially to say NO, but if it puts more football on TV I'm ok with it.

What about only allowing teams with fewer than 7 wins if they have a winning conference record?
