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.

OP is right. We need to be more like Div 2. You make it to the playoffs or your season is over. End the useless bowl games.

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

Despite a financial model that ensured most schools lost money on bowls, schools and conferences dutifully participated in them, believing in their necessity as a reward for players, a vehicle for coaches to squeeze in extra practices and a marketing tool for the university.


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.
