They will still have minor bowls because as someone said below in this thread, they still make ESPN more money than their regular programming.

You mean like the pinstripe bowl (Penn State vs Clemson last year)?

I guess in theory things like that can hang around, but I don't see the point. Most starters would opt out, the viewing will be abysmal, the stadium will be empty, and I think both schools would take a loss on expenses vs bowl payout.

Like someone else said the MAC and Sunbelt bowls may survive as long as they're reasonably close for travel.
There may be things for 8-4 P4 teams, again nearby (Texas Bowl for Big 12, etc). But a 24 team field means most ranked teams are in the playoff.

So what do we do for entertainment? College basketball kinda stinks. I don’t know what else to do. College football definitely is going down the tubes, though.

I almost want to just watch the G5 teams because at least those still feel like traditional football aside from the transferring out part.

Bowl games are still 4 hour blocks of TV time that more people watch than most other crap on cable. The sponsorships are also valuable.

Bowl games aren't going anywhere.
