No...just a big exagerration. The only real issue is that they have created way too many bowls and it doesn't mean much now. It used to seem like a reward for the better teams each year. It means a lot to the smaller teams that get invites, but there are a ton of mediocre teams playing and increasingly smaller crowds watching those games. I don't know how a number bowls exist with how few people attend them.

I guess the TV revenue. I get the criticisms of having so many bowls. But, I don't think the lower tier bowls really diminish the value of the more prestigious bowls. And they are important to the teams that play in them. The players on the teams that have won them appeared absolutely thrilled. Nobody has to watch them that isn't interested in them.
