[QUOTE="Cuyahoga Falls Eers_rivals, post: 129518314, member: 1759980"] [B][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ff0000]For a few years I've been advocating 8 8-team conferences that send their champs to the national playoffs. They could have the 8 2nd place teams play in the national consolation playoffs, sort of like the NIT. Forget the other bowl games. Schools lose money going to them. I remember WVU losing $1.2 million by going to the Fiesta Bowl when schools had to pay for unsold tickets. Can you imagine Elvis Presley or The Beatles in their primes paying venues for the priviledge of providing their entertainment?[/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=#ff0000] WVU taxpayers had to pay 300K or 400K when Marshall went to a bowl game. The only benefit is that the players get an extra 4 weeks of practice, which gives the coaches a chance to work with returning players for the NEXT season.[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
