That seems crazy. Conferences could never, ever increase the number of teams they have in a bowl game. Unless its something like this:
max = average of last 4 years plus 1, rounded up.
More bowls - ugh

You know it's just about the money when they approve 3 bowls and one doesn't even have a location. Real tough standards to meet, NCAA!
Hey I want to start a new college bowl game!
Where?
I don't know yet.
APPROVED!!!

That would be the most amazing bowl game of all time. 0-12 Kansas vs 0-12 Idaho would be freaking sweet

SIAP but I wish it were going to P12/B12 rather than P12/SEC (they're ditching the MWC).
This will be a fun bowl going forward...

Hows about getting rid of conference tie ins? All the bowls do a draft based on payout after the 4 playoff teams are set
Other reports specify that the maximum relates to the number of contracted tie-ins, not the maximum number of teams that can play in a bowl.
Too many of the "lower tier" bowls had to have contingency agreements with mid-major conferences because there wasn't an 11th/12th team from the ACC or SEC available.
You don't want to get shot while paying $50 to park? Where's your sense of adventure?
I never get why people complain about more bowls. As far as I'm concerned - the more football, the better. If you don't care about the game just don't tune in. Plus, its easier for ISU to get in.
You spend much time in Chicago? It is a very fun place to party.
That’s fine. Won’t watch most of them anyways. Around Christmas time I don’t really get much excitement out of watching FIU and Bowling Green going at in in the R + L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.
Btw, with Campbell here we don’t need an easier route to bowl games anymore. The Paul Rhoads era is long over.

The other bowl probably will be in Des Moines. I think that's the only U.S. city not taken.
Citrus Bowl last year was 82% full.
Outback Bowl was 70% full
Taxslayer Bowl was 61% full
Cotton Bowl was 67% full
Arizona Bowl was 70% full
Music City was 70% full
Belk Bowl was 44% full
Very few bowls were over 70% full. And thats actual tickets sold, not butts in the seat. A jam packed 20K stadium might be a better atmosphere than a 1/3 empty larger stadium.
Pyongyang. I think it's in the new peace treaty. North Korea agreed to give up their weapons of mass destruction if they could host the Northeastern Delaware State - Wilmington vs. Western North Dakota Tech - Williston game.The other bowl probably will be in Des Moines. I think that's the only U.S. city not taken.
That would be awesome! I'd be more excited for that than 90% of bowl games currently slated.
A lot of people probably considered last year's Liberty Bowl to be a 2nd rate bowl game featuring a couple of no-name teams, but I thought it was pretty exciting . . .
We would crush that bowl. And it would be a great time. Cyclone Nation swarming Myrtle Beach would be great fun.
