My guess is that a lot of schools with virus issues could field a team, but are choosing not to because they weee in it for the practice more than anything. Now they don’t have to go through with the expense of actually going to the games.

If this keeps up, Marquette's football team may get a bowl invite.

I mean, HBCU are the ones that miss the most post-season appearances because of academic standards/grad rates set by the NCAA

Yeah, my eyes hurt from all of the rolling as I read their legal filings. Academic standards and kids being eligible under the standards of individual schools are discrimination so we can’t have them anymore.

Maybe the it’s the HBCU schools failing their own student-athletes and they need to reform.

Why are there so damn many bowl games? The Athletic gives an answer:

The Armed Forces Bowl between Army and Missouri averaged 2.57 million viewers on ESPN, while the Golden State Warriors-New York Knicks game on TNT the night before that saw Steph Curry break the three-point record averaged 2.35 million viewers. Americans just like watching football. Bowl ratings are up this year, and the number of bowls we have won’t go down anytime soon.

The lower-tier bowl games are TV content and that’s been the case for a while now. It’s why there are more bowls every year (2020 notwithstanding), even if we need teams with 5-7 records to fill them. A new bowl, the Frisco Football Classic, was created at the last minute just so every 6-6 team could get in a bowl game this year. ESPN was happy to have it.

That’s why ESPN owns almost all of them. There is still more than enough room for bowls and an expanded playoff though.

Objectively funny sh!t. It would also have been funny to see the Tony the Tiger bowl game given Kellogg's recent situation get cancelled, but alas.

UCLA just canceled hours before Kickoff against NC State in the Holiday Bowl. Tough blow for FOX.

Nevertheless Sun Bowl is one of favorites on CBS. Glad it's being played.

Get ready for the winning coach to get a mayo bath ... albeit a scripted one.

From the Charlotte Observer:

When the Tar Heels and Gamecocks play each other on Thursday at Bank of America Stadium, the sporting public — outside of both teams’ fans — will be less interested in the result between two 6-6 teams and more interested in, well, mayonnaise. And the postgame mayonnaise bath for the winning head coach, in particular.

A spokesman for the game last week said staffers have been working to discover the correct viscosity for the ceremonial mayo dunking. Too thick and the mayonnaise will sort of plop out onto either South Carolina’s Shane Beamer or North Carolina’s Mack Brown, and nobody wants to see either coach doused in chunky, gelatin-like mayo. Too runny, though, and the integrity of the mayonnaise will be compromised, and nobody wants to see that, either, especially in the Carolinas, where Duke’s is based and often the choice for the serious mayo connoisseur.

“We’ve been working on this for months,” Miller Yoho said of the Mayo bath.

Said Beamer: “I’m not a big mayonnaise guy. I mean, I’ll gladly take one for the team on that one if it means we won a football game, but woof.” And Brown, in a line that sounded like it came from a story in The Onion: “If we won the game, I’d let someone hit me in the face with a frying pan … I don’t care.”

In reality, the mayo dunking will be a ceremonial, scripted affair. It will not happen in the immediate aftermath of the game, Yoho said, noting that Bank of America Stadium has new turf. Instead, it will be staged.

To convince the coaches to go along with the idea, Duke’s offered the winning coach $10,000 for the charity of his choice. Beamer and Brown gave their OKs, opening the door for what’s sure to be one of the most viral social media moments of the college football postseason. “They’re going to have to sit there with all the cameras on them,” Yoho said of whomever the winning coach is, “and just take it.”

Hmmm.
Here's the lawsuit. Could you point out where it says "academic standards are discrimination, so we can't have them"?
Thanks.

Some bowl game tv ratings

https://mobile.twitter.com/ESPNPR/status/1476692031707783174

- Browns/Packers and all-day NBA on Christmas, 1.7 million viewers tuned in to the Georgia State-Ball State Camellia Bowl on ESPN.

-Dec. 22, Missouri-Army Armed Forces Bowl: 2.57 million viewers. Warriors-Knicks game where Steph broke the 3-point record: 2.35 million the night before. FYI

Bama coaching this game like the Browns on Xmas


Cincy just simply isn’t good enough on offense to make it matter though.

Thanks for playing, Cinci, and enjoy your lovely parting gifts.

The only position Cinci might be better than Bama at is cornerback, and Ridder rarely has had the time to take advantage of that.
