At a time when Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey pulled out of bowl games to protect their NFL future, the compensation for bowl directors continues to increase.
At least seven bowl games paid their top official more than $500,000 in fiscal year 2014, according to tax forms for bowls that have publicly available financial records. Ten years ago, no bowl director exceeded $500,000.
The highest-paid bowl director in 2014-15 appeared to be the Cotton Bowl's Rick Baker, who made $994,065 in total compensation.
