Ticket sales and tourism. How many UF fans will drive to Miami and leave after the game ?
I've never understood the tourism angle? Why would the orange bowl or the committee care about people booking hotels? Why do they care about anything more than people buying tickets to their game and watching it on tv (which is where I assume the bulk of the $ comes from)?

Because that is the purpose of the Bowls. The only people who get the TV money are the Bowl Charities and the Administration personnel.

Especially Miami. In January. Have you ever looked at hotel prices in South Florida in January? They have no problem booking those up at high prices and it has nothing to do with college football.
Now a "smaller" city like New Orleans might care. But Miami and Dallas have so many hotel rooms and so many things going on, I don't think hotel rooms are a big deal in the decision process.

Say what? Do you even understand why the bowls exist in the first place?
