It gave several examples of conferences helping to cover the costs for the teams so in the end it was not a major issue for the schools. The expense is the cost of doing business. If it was so bad they could always decline the invitation.
Think of a school like Middle Tennessee State. They now have more name recognition due to their bowl and NCAA basketball appearances. Even if they lose money they gain value. Butler is a great local example. My neighbor is the marketing director for their athletic department and it has significantly changed his job.
Remember when Duke sucked in football? Blue Devils kicking the crap out of TAMU. 38-17 at the half and Duke gets the ball to start the 2nd half. Duke football actually scored more points in the first half than Duke basketball did today vs. Elon (38 vs. 35). Duke has scored on every possession in the 1st half; 5 TDs and a FG as time expired(Duke had 2nd & goal on the 1).
I live in Clemson so I see a lot of ACC games and Duke has a good football team this year! I am not a fan of The Johnny Football Show, so I'm loving this! "Go Dookies!" :-)
Easily one of the worst bowl seasons in recent memory. I have found myself watching very little this year.
This Duke aTm game is probably the best bowl game so far.Quote:
