Correct. The NCAA actually did something smart and is trying to make the big games on New Year's Day, like they used to be. Instead of having them all willy nilly.

Fan attendance has been decreasing since 2011. The number of bowl games has been increasing. The product in the games has been getting muddied. The cost of attending the game has been increasing. Basically, all the bowl games and their cities go into gouge mode for the bowl game. The bowl game's sole intention is to make college football fans pay too much to watch a bad game. The fans have caught on.

Most of the time, the schools lose money on the game because of the cost of attendance(not the top ten bowls that payout) and that further adds pressure on the school to make up that cost by raising ticket prices again so they can play in the Homer Simpson Bowl on January 15.(made up bowl game)

Hopefully, the NCAA does the next correct thing and stops adding bowl games. Just because a rich guy in a heavily populated, southern state has no other business plan should not allow the bowl game to exist.

This year there are 38 bowl games plus the playoffs.

I do sometimes miss the old New Year's Days when we had the Sugar Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Rose Bowl and Orange Bowl all on the same day.

New Year's Day has lost some of its luster since those days went by the way side.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Yeah I'm glad new years Eve and new years day will have all the big games.

If thats the case they need to move Outback and capital one bowls.

I have no big issue with adding bowls. they keep adding teams to the FBS. There are always teams left out so nbd.

When was the last time you attended a bowl game?

Did you go to the Las Vegas Bowl in 2006? The Sun Bowl in 2007? The Holiday Bowl in 2005? The Seattle Bowl in 2002?

Yes. And the Chik-Fil-A bowl was fomerly called the Peach Bowl.

Nice, I like the sound of Peach bowl, sounds more official.

I can live with that.

 

[ChicagoIrish]

Yeah that would be great.

And didn't the Holiday bowl go back to just being called the Holiday bowl?

 

[WhiteMamba]

Always has been the [insert advertiser] Holiday Bowl

 

[ChicagoIrish]

Anything is better than Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl

That sounds like shit

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

I didn't mind the Pacific Life Holiday bowl.

Those guys went from advertising a bowl game to sponsoring half time shows.
