Or the chance to buy an invite

I'm sure all the conferences do it. Being on a bowl committee is probably kickback central.

How does the 10th ranked RPI conference manage to get 7 of its 8 members "bowl eligible"?

the whole bowl thing is just terrible. I guess maybe the players enjoy it? dont know, but it certainly isnt entertaining to the fans.

it would have been good for our young program to make it to a bowl.

but I think any South Alabama fan would tell you that this year's improvement trumps going to the New Mexico Bowl or where ever they would have sent our squad.

we beat a few teams that made it to a bowl this year. I'm not sure we would have thought that would happen before the season started.

Some bowls are. Majority are opportunities to make money. A .500 season is not a successful season.
