Multiple 5-7 teams decline bowl invitation

I’m embarrassed to admit how many football games involving two teams with losing records.
If one thinks of a bowl game simply as an opportunity to have additional practices and give the kids (and fans) an chance to travel and play a game, why would any coach/AD turn down that opportunity? After all, if your team isn't in the playoff, that is all this is. A chance to play an additional game in the season.
A financial planner I knew scoured the obits every morning. She wanted to immediately send a sympathy card
. It often generated huge rollovers and customers who were sellling the family farm afterwards.
This is the real reason why. It’s different than when Frost and Nebraska declined a bowl. For these teams, they already thought their season was finished. Checked in their equipment, had coach-player conferences, made travel plans to go home for the holidays, etc etc. Logistically, pretty hard to do a 180 course correction for the entire program at this point. Especially for a bowl that they will probably lose money on. It’s too bad and it shows how broken the bowl system is at this point. Eventually, some of these lower-tier bowls will have to pay out more money or just call it quitsies.
Neither do I, but SEC doesn’t like that it makes their “already hard” schedule “harder”.
The sec likes to schedule mercer and other small schools in the middle of their conference play
I was hoping to find a list of bowls with their respective payouts. I struck out, but I found out that Notre Dame would have made 6 million to go to the pop tart bowl plus I think they pay for the travel and lodging expenses. 6 million.. yeah, I bet they are wishing they could change their mind. The first round of the play offs only make 4 mil per school. Bunch of morons if you ask me.
The Las Vegas Bowl pays out 2.9 mil. It is not clear if that is split between the 2 schools or each school gets that amount. Still even 1.45mil is good money for playing a game in Vegas.

I think if it were 1.45 per school you would lose money. Expenses would exceed that based on past history and what I know from other teams I follow going to lower tier bowls.
From what I have read, yes. They pool all the money from bowl games and then split it. So, we hope all 3 B1G schools go as far into the playoffs as possible. It's big money.
Dude, don't get me started! I am trying so hard to snag an asst golf gig for next year!
