Red Comet Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Another Bowl Game? This is why we should expand the FBS playoffs to 8 or 16 teams. So that irrelevant bowl games can finally start going out of existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the problem with the amount of bowl games is ESPN bankrolling them so they can sell ad space. If ESPN were to no longer be under Disney's aegis, this might change.

GDAWG Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 The more bowl games we have, the more likely we have a 4-8 team in a bowl game. We have already seen a few 5-7 teams play in bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 They need to kill one of the low performing bowls and move it here instead of adding another game altogether. Heck! Make this the FCS Championship site! It might sell better than some Chargers games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if North Dakota State is still dominant by then, their fans may want to travel to Los Angeles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last part was sarcasm, but heck if you'll take 5-7 teams why not take FCS teams that are already eliminated from the playoffs? Joking of course, because a 5-7 big Ten or SEC team losing to a FCS semi-finalist in December would cause heads to explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Bowl games outside of the playoffs don't really seem to matter anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do to the majority of the G5 teams. The New Year's Six games mean a lot to schools like the G5 invite, TCU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Arizona in terms of ticket sales. Heck, Penn State and UW sell out their requirements for that Fiesta Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all here: http://www.ncaa.org/championships/postseason-bowl-administration NCAA only gets $10K per bowl per year in a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ESPN were to no longer be under Disney's aegis, this might change. CBS, NBC and FOX all have inventory yet they have really yet wanted to fund? Their mid-day talk shows and news must make more $$$ as opposed to selling a bowl game across affiliates. Ain't no more Mizlou Network to distribute Holiday and Bluebonnet Bowls in 2020.

Red Wolf Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Until literally every waking hour from the beginning of bowl season until the first round playoff games is swallowed up by bowl games, I would argue that there are not enough bowl games. Of course, I don't hate things existing for no reason. 10 hours ago, Dynasty said: Bowl games outside of the playoffs don't really seem to matter anymore. Also true when the BCS existed. Except now there are three games with agreed-upon stakes instead of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
