College Bowl Games

[Anybodyhome]

Taking into account the number of players who decide they'll sit out a bowl game, the transfer portal and other players being ineligible because they declared for the draft ahead of the bowl game, it's only a matter of time before some school has to forfeit a bowl game because they can't field a team.

Then there's this:

The Bahamas Bowl (Miami- Ohio v. UAB): attendance- 12,172

The Cure Bowl (UTSA v. Troy): attendance- 11,911

The Las Vegas Bowl (Florida v. Oregon St): attendance- 29,750

Just go ahead and build the Drake Maye statue in Chapel Hill now.

Very happy the kid is coming back, but not gonna lie... he should've pocketed that cash and suited up for UGA next year.

I was just out to dinner and one of the TVs had a bowl game on with Toledo vs Liberty and I swear there wasn’t 500 people in the stands. Bowl games like this shouldn’t exist.

On ESPN primetime, that's not a good look

I’m just uneducated on how another school can offer a kid money.  This NIL thing is fugged up…I need to read up on it

I have this Houston bowl game on in the background while I get poo done around the house and I'm not exaggerating when I say there might be a few dozen fans in attendance. They just showed a wide shot of the stands and now I know why it seemed like they had been avoiding doing that. The sea of aluminum was blinding.

Bowl games aren’t about attendance unless it’s a NY6 or a CFP bowl, it’s all about TV ratings and somehow, these shitty bowls still pull in good ratings.

For example, ESPN Events owns the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl that featured Toledo and Liberty. RoofClaim.com is the titling sponsor but it’s owned and operated by ESPN Events. Surprisingly, this game was the highest rated show (original) on TV for Tuesday. Does ESPN care that it looked like there was only 2,000 people in the stands? Absolutely not, their network was responsible for the highest rated show on television on Tuesday and that’s all that matters to them.

Who's gonna freeze their ass off in freakishly cold weather in Shreveport watching a pair of 6-6 and 7-5 G5 teams?  It's a 3 hour drive if you're a ULL fan.

Wake is up 4 at the half, 14-10. Hartman has set the record for ACC touchdown throws and thrown a pick.

Clawson is a good coach, but if I see another slow mesh/slow developing play on third or fourth and short, I may throw something at the TV.

Mizzou is going to be in serious trouble with the NCAA once they find out it was Texas AM and Auburn who tried to bribe Drake Maye to leave UNC.

Clayton Tune looked pretty solid tonight.  He’s going to have teams peeking interest. I see him, Haener and O’Connell rising on boards from here on out.
