Re: After Watching Few Bowl Games.......
I look at college football today and I see "Caddyshack 2." You know where Jackie Mason buys the country club and turns it into a trashy, all-inclusive putt arena? It makes it much more accessible to the general public, but makes a mockery of what it once was and now can never be again.
Bowls are cheaper than ever to put on - just look at the Boca Bowl. Crap venue, crap payout, pre-Christmas bowl...but with most leagues engaged in profit-sharing, the newest, lowest bowl can still land the top teams from two different conferences. The better-paying bowls wind up supporting the penniless upstarts.
That's the messed up part of college sports: almost everybody that's playing in this game is doing it with somebody's else skin.
