Money is the bottom line. They will probably make more in the Bayou Classic than they would make in several playoff games that they would not host. The Ivy League doesn't participate in the playoffs either and they seem to be fine, although some ivy supporters would like to see it change.

True. But the Ivy doesn't participate for different reasons than the SWAC.

The MEAC used to not participate either. I think their winner and the SWAC winner used to play in the "Heritage Bowl" at the end of the season. But with the expansion of the playoffs the last several years, the MEAC actually got 2 teams into the tournament this year.
