You're choosing to be ignorant, of the obvious and correct point. That's your fault.

No possible way around this fact: Boise (without an indoor stadium) would never be approved for a new bowl, today.


I've repeated myself several times now, and no one has come up with a good counter-argument. I'll just assume I'm correct, and that the world isn't fair.

The bowl supply is constrained because there's only so many teams that finish with a .500 record. If 20 more teams finished with .500 or better records, you would find 10 more bowl games very quickly. That's the situation we're in today. We aren't going to ever have a situation where everyone gets a participation trophy game even if they were 0-12.
