That’s the least of anyone’s worries.
Why do you think there’s so many bowl games? It’s cheap, reality TV for ESPN. The production costs are cheap. ESPN fills dead air space with cheap, very profitable, reality TV. They don’t care if there’s 80 people in attendance or 80,000.

You do realize that besides the extra practices the bowl teams get they also get a bunch of money that they could spend in the portal. Because that matters in these NIL days.

I’ll say it again teams get paid and they need the money to buy better players.

You were saying? (And you doubled down on it, lol)

They are 4-3, with 2 expected loses. Tennessee was suppose to lose, thus road team. Oklahoma has no business playing anyone and played a team that doesn’t opt out. Oklahoma had 30 guys in the portal - LOL. Eat shite idiot. TAM is only team to lose that should have won.
