OT: RIP Minor Bowl Games
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
Good. Meaningless games. Teams with losing records were being rewarded. Obviously the finances didn’t support these senseless games.
You’re a few posts behind here. The old headline was that games were cut. The update is that more were added back because people love watching (gambling on) ****** bowl games and the finances work well for the networks
I actually don't mind them even if I don't watch them. I just don't like when coaches use them as some sort of accomplishment. They aren't.
no doubt on a dirt baseball field where there are 10k pissed off people their baseball game got postponed because something called Los Rutgers is playing with their ,500 record vs Los East Carolina and their .500 record.
To be fair, our basketball team went to a post season tournament with a 14-19 record.
This is a vehicle for gambling at this point. That will ultimately be the only reason these games are played.
Speaking of gambling., Texas Tech's star portal QB Brendan Sorsby is going to rehab for gambling.

And that's just as silly.
I don't really care about more games, but when you see coaches like Schiano getting new contracts based off of less than mediocre results because of it, then it becomes an issue. We can all agree, bowl games used to actually mean something. Now they don't outside of those played in the playoffs, and before that, the very best of bowls.
Saw that. Something seems fishy here.
Everything to know about Brendan Sorsby gambling situation, what it means for Texas Tech & next steps
Texas Tech starting quarterback Brendan Sorsby is entering a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction. What does it mean?
On the other hand, if he was betting on Indiana, where he played in 2022, maybe he has an issue:

McQuery 2.0? There was controversy after his exit from Cincinnati. He refused to pay back the NIL money when he left. We'll probably find out that he lost it all gambling.
Add in the fact that most of the very talented players who might be NFL worthy often opt out of these games. It’s time to move on from this anachronism.
It’s soemthing to watch during the holiday season but now we have on campus early round playoff games instead which is better.
Some of the playoff games will be on weeknights as well to avoid the NFL so they’ll be spread out a little just like the bowl games.
There may still be some bowls but they might be more orchestrated by the conferences to create interesting matchups.
Regardless, more meaningful games for less meaningful ones is a plus.

Anything more than 15 Bowls (including the first round of the playoffs) is too many. Bowl games should be a reward for being a Top 25 team.
