They said between the portal and draft Arkansas is down 30 players vs Kansas
Waaaay too many bowl games!

The free market says we will have 40 bowl games.
Who are we to argue with capitalism?
FWIW, both Kansas vs Arkansas and Oregon vs UNC were wonderfully fun games tonight.

Couple years old but breaks down some of the bowl economics on a school level. Schools purchase their full allotment of tickets from the bowls so unsold tickets cost them money. Easy to see how schools in smaller conferences can end up in the red on bowl trips if they are eating thousands of tickets and don’t have the financial support of big conference payouts like the p5.
Michigan spends $2.1M on Citrus Bowl, $70K over allotment
Wolverines had 413 members of the team and staff travel party on the seven-day trip

What games did/are you going to? Is it with fan interest or just geography (meaning you live nearby or are visiting a region?)
If you have no skin in the game do you pick a team to root for or just take it in? Maybe swayed by a good tailgate or hyped up fans?
I've enjoyed your away game travel pieces so I know you love college football... but 3 is a big commitment.
In any case- ENJOY! I'm sure you will.

I find it’s much better to cheer for a team than not. You’re more invested and it makes the game more interesting. If you lose, so what.
If I really wanted to stretch it, we would drive the 90 minutes to Tucson for the Arizona Bowl today but that’s usually a matchup of MAC vs Mountain West. This year Ohio vs Wyoming. Meh.
I did a post about why I was giving up my Fiesta tix.
Adios Fiesta Bowl Season Tickets
Did the College Football Playoff system put an unintended dagger into the heart of the Major Bowl games? For me, this might be the year that I finally give up my “season” tickets to the…
