re: Is it good or bad that more teams are declining bowl invites?

The players at those bowl games were getting swag though
Maybe they would rather go home and see their family and friends for perhaps the first time in several months. Many of these guys are recruited from all over the country and don’t get to spend much time at home.
Some people here are real tough and dedicated with someone else’s body and time.

I just saw a short of some guy who's partnered with the Birmingham Bowl say they had 7 teams decline an invite: Baylor, Temple, Auburn, FSU, UCF, Rutgers, and Kansas.
All 7 of those teams are 5-7. They got App State (also 5-7) and Georgia Southern (6-6). Two teams from the same conference that have already played each other.
We used to have teams at 5-7 petitioning for bowl eligibility in the event there weren't enough 6-6 teams to fill all the slots. Now we have 5-7 teams refusing bowl invites.
Safe to say the lower tier bowl games are a whole new level of irrelevant.
