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.
