Commissioner John Swofford told me that there could be an change in the distribution of bowl revenue as soon as this season. He believes that most teams favor rewarding teams for making a bowl. And he said that it was "fundamentally unfair" that a team can make a bowl and lose money while a team that fails to make a bowl, or that is ineligible for a bowl due to NCAA issues, can make money for not attending.
A source tells me that the bowl payout is not that significant monetarily, but it will make the top teams feel a bit better. Expect the league to ensure that all of a team's bowl and travel costs are paid for before divvying up the bowl payout. And while the bowl payout may not be all that substantial, that could change in a big way with the coming college football playoff.
BC went to 12 bowls in a row. They might go bowling this year. There will be no BC fans watching BC lose to whomever 6-6 BC plays in mid-December, but they might go bowling, BC has 19 returing starters so.... wtf, if they can't win six with this group....KeviNole wrote:The free ride might be getting a bit bumpier for schools like BC.

True, but you've indicated many times that BC doesn't care about being competitive, and is content to suck on the teat of the ACC cash cows (which are thin in number).innocentbystander wrote:BC went to 12 bowls in a row.
Possibly but it won't be easy. Army should be a win, but wasn't last year. NMSU is pitiful and should be an easy win. I don't know enough about Nova to predict a result in that game, but BC will likely be a slight underdog in the rest of its games. I'm not a fan of Addazio as most UF fans consider him their version of Jeff Bowden, but he's probably an upgrade in high-level experience over what you've had.innocentbystander wrote:They might go bowling this year.

Well he's a serious upgrade in at least one category (maybe the most important category for a college HC.) Addazio can recruit like a motherfucker! Did you see his 2014 class? Did you see where we were ranked? Maybe it would only be an average FSU class but for BC, this is the best class we've had since... since... ever.KeviNole wrote:True, but you've indicated many times that BC doesn't care about being competitive, and is content to suck on the teat of the ACC cash cows (which are thin in number).innocentbystander wrote:BC went to 12 bowls in a row.
