From a team point of view, the most important part of bowl season is the extra practices.
Maybe they become less expensive to put on.

There aren't many major bowls

They should already be dead
IF there is another playoff expansion, they’ll die instantly

The "meaningless bowl games" will survive as long as there is a need for:
1. Content to fill a broadcasters network schedule that will generate viewership;
2. That said viewership will result in advertising revenue to the broadcaster/network.
Bottom line: It is all about $$$$s and a tried and true formula for creating the inflow of $$$$$s to the networks, schools, conferences and charities that are supported by the various Bowl Committees.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
I watch every bowl game I can.

Until they stop making money.

It's always cool to hear about Iowa or Wisconsin players in one of the FL bowl games and it's the first time some of their players have ever seen the ocean in person.

I think they will fizzle out over the next 5-10 years.

yep, with the added bonus of allowing me to avoid the irritating conversation of in-laws, outlaws, and dysfunctional family members.
Win (networks), win (advertisers), win (schools), win (charities), and win (me personally) situation. Plus brother-in-law and I make friendly wagers on any game that comes on, thereby producing a vested/rooting interest (and the inherent shite-talking that goes along with same) in each game that gets watched, even the games featuring the .500 MEAC vs. Sunbelt teams. What is not to like?

6. Gator
7. Citrus
8. Rose
9. Peach
10. Cotton
11. Holiday
12. Orange

Make them all playoff games. Problem solved

Carquest is now the Pop Tarts.

Prior to playoffs, a maximum of only 2 bowl games were meaningful.
Now more bowl games are about being part of the path to a national championship.
If more bowl games now matter, then what is the problem?

National treasures and bowl games I always make a point to watch:
Sun Bowl
Alamo Bowl
Holiday Bowl
Yeah, their are a lot of filler bowls, but what's the problem? If you don't like it, don't watch. I'll be watching every bowl I can because I like football.
It's a great time of year for CFB fans.

Play bowl games in week 0, counts as regular season game. Players would then play in Popeyes Bahamas Bowl and wouldn’t sit out.

As long as ESPN keeps them going
They own nearly all the minor bowls.
Gives them live sports, and they can force the sponsors of their big games to pay for minor bowls also.

I am not sure about graft but the early bowls were to bring tourist and attention to the cities. They all had major parades that were usually televised on TV. Only the rose bowl continues that.

With opt outs and the portal, I think all but the top tier bowl games have run their course.
Keep the Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, Peach, and Cotton for quarter/semifinals and do away with the rest.
