There are varying opinions on whether or not there are currently too many bowl games. Kirk Herbstreit made his stance clear.
“There’s way too many bowls. I think you should be 8-4 to go to a bowl game. I think it’s not great for the bowl system that we have so many and so many teams, and these stadiums are empty, and the pre-Christmas bowl games are on TV,” Herbstreit said. “I think bowl games should be sold-out stadiums and teams that had great years, and it should be a celebration for the year you had.”
