Per ESPN. We're going to start seeing teams with losing records in bowl games.

We need to keep adding enough bowls so that Eastern Michigan will get to a bowl and check that off its bucket list.

I don't mind it. I know it's about $$$ but going to a bowl game is a big deal for the little guys. It will bring enjoyment to fans who probably wouldn't have experienced it otherwise.

The names of the bowls and teams in it will get a bit (more) ridiculous but I'm for all fan bases experiencing the excitement of a bowl game. I went to Alabama for the GoDaddy.com bowl and had a great time.

Except most of the schools lose money on their bowl games. The bowls however do make money. Plus many are owned by or affiliated with ESPN.

My post was about fan experience. The school is welcome to decline any invite if they don't want to lose money.

The "Cure" Bowl, they will cure the need for a bowl eligible team to have a 6-6 record to play. So we go from 70 teams needed in the 2013 Bowl season to 76 by 2015. That's 8 more bowl teams than NCAA Men's Hoops Tourney teams with 350 Men's Hoops teams vs 130 Football programs 04-jawdrop

Oh, God! No!

Oh, it's about breast cancer. Well, I can not complain about anything that helps fight breast cancer. That really hits home. I don't know if I want to elaborate on that. The picture in this post is depressing enough.

Are the teams going to have to wear pink?

There are still some teams in FBS that won't be in a bowl. What are they waiting for? 65 bowls or bust.
