I know it’s highly unlikely because these games are all about the TV and sponsorship money…but what if a team had to win 8 games to be bowl eligible? It would save us the torture of these bojangles cheddar bo biscuit bowls and the like. Plus it would make the bowls mean more and maybe kids wouldn’t elect to sit out. Just a thought
If you don't like these lower tier bowls; don't watch them. What would you rather the TV space be filled with? Mindless episodes of 30 for 30?I know it’s highly unlikely because these games are all about the TV and sponsorship money…but what if a team had to win 8 games to be bowl eligible?

The torture??I know it’s highly unlikely because these games are all about the TV and sponsorship money…but what if a team had to win 8 games to be bowl eligible?

If you hold these games in such low regard then DON'T TURN THEM ON!!!! Just watch some meaningless basketball game or rerun of NCIS of other important show.I know it’s highly unlikely because these games are all about the TV and sponsorship money…but what if a team had to win 8 games to be bowl eligible?

Over saturated. Diluted. Just takes away some prestige. Oh and yes I do do other things when a crappy game is on. Didn’t mean to offend you buddy.

If it wasn't for the playoff split of the pie, most teams would lose money from their bowl game. Here's an article from when UT play Indiana a few years ago.
Indiana football lost money playing in Gator Bowl against Tennessee
Trust me, if there wasn't a net gain in playing, teams wouldn't play. These games aren't continued to be played (and added) if everyone is losing money.
SEC postseason payout (saturdaydownsouth.com)
This is 7 years ago, so I am sure it's even higher now. Orange Bowl paid out $27.5 million? to MSU, which goes to the conference. They all make money.
P5 schools don’t lose money on bowls because there is a split of all payouts among the conference teams. I read a Forbes article from about 6-7 years ago that said maybe 10-20 schools lose money in the bottom tier bowls.
Those are major bowls, what was teh payout for the Birmingham or Liberty Bowls and how much did those bowls cost the participants?
