Bowl Money


Jan 1, 2022, 2:14 PM

The bottom bowl of our game looked full. Tennessee game in Nashville looked full, as expected with them basically getting a home game, and the playoff games looked full, but all the other bowls I have watched look horrible regarding attendance. Thought the New Years Day Bowls had a reputation of being well attended? Can bowls survive long term?

I guess so, but the bowls have become near meaningless. When you have a 100 bowls, they just don't mean much. They might as well have a craptastic bowl. Nothing wrong with Dukes Mayo, but dumping it on a coach? Stupid! I am not overly impressed withe the name "Cheezit Bowl" either.

Playoffs have really took a toll on even these New Years Day bowls. When I was coming up playing in the Citrus or Gator Bowls were pretty big deals.

I think it’s time

To stop evenly splitting bowl money amongst the conference and to stop splitting bowl money evenly amongst winners and losers. That might be one way for schools to convince kids to not opt out and to not pull a UCLA, even though I loved watching Dave cry.

Schools lose money on low end bowls and with the way we travel, even the middle end Cheez- It was probably a loser. The exposure and practice experience make bowls worthwhile for the schools but not sure about the smaller cities that host the bowls. As I said yesterday, the game in Nashville was a record crowd. If there were fewer bowls and they had regional teams the cities would greatly benefit.

Those cities would much rather have 50k fans


Jan 1, 2022, 2:50 PM

Instead of 20k but the bowls aren’t going anywhere unless the playoffs are expanded greatly. It’s about live programming and that’s where the $ comes from not tickets sales. At the end of the day, 20k fans is still 20k more than the city would have without the bowl and their city gets an infomercial to attract visitors for other times of the year
