You've debunked nothing. Conferences don't sign contracts in perpetuity with bowls. If the game in Boise were so universally undesirable, conferences would have thrown their support behind another bowl during the proliferation of games in the past 20 years.

Your other point is bizarre. Of course they "prop up the bowl" (i.e. sponsor) to promote themselves. Is there some other reason that bowl title sponsors exist other than to promote themselves? Is the Rose Bowl paying Northwestern Mutual to associate its brand with the game?

Hopefully your proclamations of being right make you feel better.
