I didn't say anything about the teams making money.

Bowls are a shameless cash grab on the part of the cities, sponsors, and ESPN

The bowl system needs to die. I grew up loving it just like everybody else, but

Why? I watch a lot of bowls that don't matter. Honest question

It stands in the way of a better post-season system, and is a money loser for

It would be a lot more fun if there weren’t contracts

Some people love exhibition games. See: BYU’s entire schedule since going Indy

I never "loved" it. Always thought it was a dumb way to end a season

not necessarily good for BYU as we're always begging to find a place to bowl that's not conference contracted

Who cares if there are too many bowl games? Why do people complain about more

The whining about too many bowls is dumb.

So you mean a 5-7 record won't get a team into a bowl now? That's so sad 🙁

Trading lame cash-grab games for playoff games seems like a fair trade
