100% will be on my TVs. A lot of the smaller bowls have trouble selling all of their tickets and have even less opportunity to be seen on the big networks. Without the TV money, a lot of those smaller bowls could not even survive. ESPN has a monopoly on covering of sporting events and has the programming time to provide slots for those smaller bowls. Good for ESPN to provide coverage and somehow make money doing so!

And they shouldn't. Bowl games used to be a showcase for the best the NCAA had to offer. Now with the exception of the Top 3-4 games the rest are a study in mediocrity. But that fits today's mentality where everybody gets a trophy just for showing up!
