My interest and viewing of sub-tier bowls has declined in recent years. At an emotional level it feels like there is a more complete disassociation with the top tier bowls, whereas previously there was an appetizer/main course feel to the whole bowl season.

Nothing says college like the StaffDNA Cure Bowl in Orlando, Florida.

You don't get misty college memories when the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl drops?

The SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl doesn't conjure up an autumn campus, cute girls in sweaters and keg parties?

I love the collegiate pride and history associated with this year's Xbox Bowl in venerable college town, Frisco, Texas.

I always walk the campus with my wife and daughters before the Bush's Boca Raton Bowl of Beans.

Didn't Michigan beat the University of Chicago in the first-ever bowl game, the Myrtle Beach Bowl Presented by Engine?

The solution is to make players employees, and make bowl participation part of their enforceable contract. Or instead of giving players trinkets, give them half of the money the school/conference gets from being in it.

I mean, that's the key to all of it, and why it'll never get "fixed." As long as the schools, conferences, and networks refuse to acknowledge that they are a multi-billion dollar industry and that the players generate that wealth, this is what you get. If you acknowledge that they are employees, they can collectively bargain, and contracts and limitations on movement then become enforceable. That's how it works in all other professional sports. You don't get to leave your team if the coach leaves. You don't get to choose your squad or coach when entering the league through the draft and, unless you're a special player that can negotiate a no trade clause, you can't prevent your managers from trading you to wherever they want. These restrains are only possible because the players association agreed to them in the collective bargaining agreement. If schools want to pretend that the players generating billions of dollars are just students participating in friendly athletic competitions like its the late 1800s, there is no legal basis to prevent their freedom of movement and to find ways to make money through their efforts and popularity.

I understand Udoh's situation and never begrudged him for leaving. The thing the academies DO have to counter that is the value of their degree and the leadership experience from fulfilling that service commitment. That had to factor in at least a little bit in the original decision to attend, right? My Old Grad son and I were having this exact discussion during the game, and he suggested players might opt for NIL money and ROTC at the civilian schools. I wanted to throw up and start laughing at the same time. ROTC can get you there too, but if you're already at an academy, it would be a complete change of culture, without the equivalent support of athletic obligations being met "halfway" by the other entities at the civilian institutions. I don't see them leaving for NIL if military leadership is also on their heart.

I think Udoh is staying for his senior season so he should get the chance tomorrow to see significant carries with Raleek Brown heading to the draft. Since Manny Diaz is the head coach he could have a really big game and that would be a good springboard for him heading into next year. We can’t throw the football with Sims so line up and run the triple option against Duke to make the game fun.

I still don't get why Tech isn't in the Cotton Bowl.

Were they trying to protect Ohio State from playing a road game at Miami? Miami was the lower seed and no one goes to their home games anyway. If aggy had won (we are laughing) then the Cotton Bowl would have ended up a road game for Ohio State that way.

but also f jerryworld. That's always a valid answer.

Every year we hear the same shit. Then there's posts about "the solution". The solution to what? Random blowhards bitching about too many bowl games? Or their names? Who fucking cares. Bowl games aren't going away. Go watch the Christmas Story marathon.
