Nowadays, there's 40+(?), games that so dilutes the quality and interest in the games that they're really not special anymore. imo How many of those 40 bowls actually make money……or do they really care?

They get some local company or a cracker maker to be the sponsor and that defrays the production costs. They don’t have to pay a bloated bowl committee very much of the cut on these either. For ESPN it’s holiday airtime filler that will get a guaranteed minimum rating because there are so many honorary members of the Sickos Committee like me that will watch all football.

An article I read years ago said that the bowls make money because participants have to buy an allotment of tickets, there's a sponsor, and ESPN. The colleges get killed on costs for taking staff and paying to house the team. It's a fucking racket. The suggested alternative was to have bowl/post season games at one of the school's stadiums. You likely get a crowd and it feels more like a regular game. The schools would get the money instead of local shitty bowl committees. I thought it sounded good. If we hosted one in DKR Memorial, I'm sure the other team would be amped to play here rather than El Paso or Shreveport. Same if we went to or hosted Notre Dame, Tennessee, Penn State, or Oregon. It would actually be fun. With a 12 team playoff in the future, this really sounds better.

Yep. Reading Jimbo's quotes from the signing day presser and this, they are hyping up those LB commits that they offered a week ago.

Two weeks before nsd1 they had zero offensive skill players, and much was made of it. They managed to scrape together 4 so they'll call it a win. Jimbo is well versed in the art of anchoring expectations low.
