If you can track them all, take a appear at the line-up of college football teams that make it to bowl games in what has, over time, grown to grow to be a blur of bowls, and it tough not to wonder if a qualifying criteria exists.

There is, but with 27 or by some counts 28 bowl games on the schedule, organizers have to dip deep into pool to come up with sufficient teams to fill the spots. The set minimum standard of a .500 season and six wins to get an invitation has set the bar rather low.

They cant all be classic match-ups. With 117 Division Ia teams taking 54 Bowl spots theres no way. But hey, with far more than $190 million to be divided up amongst participants and an average Bowl game attendance of 51,879 does it really matter? It adds up to a quite good shot in the arm for a lot of athletic programs.

If there is a flaw its the rich get richer and harder to catch. Roughly $139 million of that $190 spend-out goes to the eight large Bowl participants.

Thats lots of action packaged up more than 16 days of the holiday season. Stick television in that package too. Network broadcast hours will prime the hundred mark. Contemplate too that these games are much more than a handful of hours of parking ones butt at the stadium come game time. They are the impetus for organization of week long festivals of spending in host cities.

Just as the pay-out for all Bowl games can not be equal, the economic influence of tourism and spending on a host region can not all be like the Rose Bowl. The $$$ that festival generates is the grandmother of them all and the model to shoot for.

Its hard to be picky about a name when corporations are lining up to throw sponsorship funds at organizers to the tune of $30 million like FritoLay put into the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Its severe money. Severe enough, fans who mightnt be impressed with the rhyme have to agree with the cause.
