season. They get to travel one last time with the team to play a team they normally wouldn't play. they get swag, they get activities leading up to the game. Its not a bad thing. Not to mention they get more practice time. Why wouldn't you want your team to get 1 more game in Dec? There is no downside to it. Who freaking cares if people are making money off the games? You get to watch your team play more football!!!
