[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 130385227, member: 1812660"] Depends on your perspective about the purpose of bowls. If revenue is what you are after, it makes sense. Although not always for the schools as some take a loss. If it's meant to be a prestige thing to reward a team that may not be top 4, but still pretty damn good, then it makes no sense. It's like universities themselves. Made revenue by accepting more students and lowering standards to keep them paying all 4 or more years of tuition. Helped by ease of access to student loans as well. The cost for that revenue is that a bachelor's degree is not as prestigious as it used to be. My opinion on the subject is that bowls are meaningless outside of a handful, but I like the idea of extra practices. That's why I don't care if players who wont be back skip the toilet bowl vs another 6-7 win team. I'd rather the guys who will be back the next year get some meaningful work in. [/QUOTE]
