My point is the bowl system is a joke.
If I am not mistaken, MN is now selling tickets for a dollar, yes folks I do mean $1. That is how bad their ticket sales are, heck even Ohio St is on the hook for 10,000 unsold tickets from their allotment that they can't seem to sell. And we have people who want to jump up to the FBS so that we can encounter this problem why???? The problem with lower level bowl games is this, no one can get excited about a bowl game against a mediocre team when win or lose, there is no life after the game is over, the team isn't going any further than that game. At least in the fcs playoffs the excitement of that game is that if you win, you have a shot at a Natty.
