Report: UConn lost $1.8 million at Fiesta Bowl - Connecticut Post

Bowl Games Are Not Always Winners For Schools CBS Miami


Since I'm a Bama Homer:

The Alabama Crimson Tide, which has no problems packing a stadium, ended up losing a combined $3.76 million in the 2010 and 2012 BCS National Championship games. Auburn also lost nearly $615,000 on its BCS National Champions game appearance in 2011, according to the Hearst Foundation.


They make it back in merchandise. But still its not all its cracked up to be. The Bowls make the money in bowl games.
Right, all that is understood at this point by everyone that has paid any attention throughout the BCS or even modern era, I'm sure. My comment was strictly from a fan perspective and how this impacts scheduling and travel to try and see these playoff games and how not doing them regionally hurts me (impacts is probably a better word). Even if, for instance, Auburn ends up in the Sugar Bowl and then National Championship in Dallas I'll still likely pick just 1. But like joe said when it (if it) grows to 8 teams maybe they'll do opening rounds at home fields.

Leaving for the casinos in Tunica tomorrow, thank God it is an afternoon game so we can get hammered and lose money at the tables while still sleeping in. Last two time I think they were early games and that drive + sun in the stands was terrible.

I don't totally disagree with the top 4 except one team. Ole Miss should have dropped to the 8-10 area. LSU(24 at the time) defense kicked there ass all over the field.

I'd quit worrying about my QB and worry more about my punt returner, unless you guys are just going to let them score the rest of their possessions!

Yea.. James Quick is a retard. No idea why he wasn't benched games ago. No idea how he was a 4 star, nearly 5-star recruit with his butter-fingers

EDIT: Well, they took butterfingers out. THANK GOD!

Choo-CHOO!!!! TD #2

BTW.... Mauldin is out, fuck... The king of the defense

Loving the excuses on Tomehawk Nation site. It is great! Sucks if we blow them out, we're still screwed in terms of noteworthy Bowls unless Clemson loses again. If we also win by quite a bit, we'll only go up probably 5-6 spots since we're not an SEC school.
