70 out of 120 (give or take a few) teams will go to bowl games.
I am of the opinion that bowl games should serve as a reward for an above average season, not as a post-season exhibition game for teams that somehow manage to barely win as many games as they lose.
Yes, I know that being invited to a bowl provides teams with extra practice time. This needs to be dealt with bythe NCAA. Of course,maybe they are kinda/sortacreating an environment (in a roundabout way)for additional teams to have extra practices by increasing the number of bowl games.
Segue...
There will bea year when not enough teams qualify for bowls. I'm curious as to which bowl will be the "odd man out". If this happens, I expect the NCAA to allow more victories over FCS schools to count toward bowl eligibility and/or the addition of anotherregular season game.
This constant quest for more and more revenue streamsis going to change the landscape of college athletics. I fear the changes arenot going to be pleasant. With you consider the revised interpretation of the application of Title IX andthe progress of the EdO'Bannon suit (probablythe first of many), the NCAA may be forced to seek out even more monies to coverlegal fees, not to mention the prospect of non-favorable judgments. Then, we may see the NCAA decide to scale back things.
