Wolverine Wednesday: My Plan To Fix The Bowl System
There are 40 Bowl Games out there now, which is really over kill. Here is my take on the issues and plan to fix college football's post season.
The issues:
With a month off, the football is pretty poor.
Bowl games are closer to an exhibition then anything else.
Bowl games are now about corporate marketing.
The 4 team playoff system has made the bowl system obsolete.
Current playoff games have been blowouts
NFL prospects are sitting out bowl games.
Many programs lose money on bowl games with guaranteed ticket allocations.
Nobody wants to watch a match-up of 6-6 teams.
Attendance is declining
The positives:
Two weeks of extra practice for teams.
Young players get more time.
