Looks like one Bowl will be delayed until 2016, making 41 Bowls and 82 to 84 Teams Cut Off by 2016! This means the NCA is nearly near it limit of 5-7 Teams qualifying for a Bowl. It will be hard to see Bowls growing but Corporate Sponsors are always available and local cities want to use those Stadiums to bring Tourists, Advertising, and Spending for the local economy. However, the Attendance at Bowls like in the NCAA and Pro Football is starting to dwindle as far as showing up for the games. I suspect the College Football Playoffs expansion to 6 to 8 Teams will be delayed a tad a few years until this issue will be addressed.

Just like in the Conferences TV Money is now King over Attendance and will continue to grow by Corporate Sponsors always eager to expand exposure and plea local Chamber of Commerce! Even the TV Broadcasts now can easily hide low attended games and the play of the game is touted as more important than the cheering?

Yet, Attendance does make a game a more excited place to be or watch and adds to the excitement hearing the cheers and jeers, yet it is still becoming a trend that people and fans and bowls may sell the tickets, but fewer fans are going to the games.

TV still wants the games because they are like a TV show without knowing how it is going to end, no matter what Teams are playing.

We shall see?
