they need to play the damn bowls when you are off for the holiday AND you don't have to go to work the next day. if you have to go to work, they need to be played early. I enjoyed the Saturday games on Friday and Saturday, but didn't have any energy to watch new year's bowls the day after new years. who the hell was going to watch the sugar late at night when the next day is a workday?

they are killing the bowls with the schedules.

ESPN basically owns the bowls. The 4 letter network is interested in filling programming hours and audience. The bowls' desire is filling seats and bring revenue to the host cities. Clearly the bowls and host cities are losing. It will be interesting if the analogy turns out to be the frog in hot water. Will they figure this out too late?

Everyone laughs at the Texas bowl but they are averaging 70,000 the last couple of years.

These money grab events are not put on for the loyal team fans...sponsors/TV/SEC and CFP don't give a rats arse about ATTENDING fans...in turn many fans now don't give their $ to these money grubbing entities...attendance will continue to whither away
