The Great Bowl Die-Off has begun

No idea how the Independence Bowl continues to take place every year.

It's been grandfathered into the "Bowls that still bring nostalgia for the days when the game was good" category and shall be spared

Birmingham Bowl too since they had trouble even finding teams to play.

I think most years this bowl has done well. This was a strange year with a lot of teams choosing not to go to a bowl and messing them up. I went last year when we played Vandy. It was cold and pouring rain but about 80% full.

There won't be fewer bowls. There is a waiting list of bowl groups who are simply waiting for existing bowls to fold.
