I know they are supposed to be played but I'll be mildly surprised if bowl games are actually played, outside of the playoff. Can the bowls afford to pay teams to go? The teams can't afford ANYTHING on their own dime so TV revenue will have to pay the freight. I've spent 0 time considering this until this post. Off the cuff.
It will certainly be interesting to see what happens. If even most of the bowls go forward, then teams with losing records are going to get into bowls. The B10 is still talking about playing game starting in October, so who knows how this mess will all shake out. Athletic departments all over the country are scrabbling to somehow hold everything together. With no games, no fans and donations most likely down at most schools we are going to see a lot of things cut, dropped, slashed, etc.
