The nation wasn’t exactly holding their breath waiting for the IU/Duke Pinstripe bowl, etc. The fan bases involved are interested, maybe some fans of the conferences involved, but most importantly they are able to sell ads. The last item, selling tv ads, is by far the most important reason these bowls exist. Yes, that's far and away king. That's 1-50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what will the attendance be Le or th beatings for these games. Memphis vs Hawaii N Texas vs Miami of Ohio Attendance has very little to do with it. Ticket sales is not where teams (pro too) make the money. It's mostly all in the broadcast deals and sponsorships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But.. think about this for a second.. per school there are, 95% of the time, 2x to 4x more football players at a HS than basketball... A school might have 35 at most players in a HS that they keep on their roster. Sometimes only 20. Anyways.. lots of IN HS football teams with 125 kids right now. There are simply more people that play football, by design, than play basketball. Not arguing its better. Then you factor in that many kids families, as well. Like, Scott, my wife, mom, and sister (rarely) will watch football by themselves. Not that you can't find examples to the contrary, but.. I do think football, in more households, is watched.

I watch a lot of football but just think there shouldn't be 42 bowls. I think bowl games is a reward for a very good season and not being mediocre.

Either Auburn is just waiting for him to return from vacation to fire him or their gathering the goods so they can fire him for cause. Either way this isn't Harsin's first rodeo down this path.

Depends on who you believe but he's been stepping out on his wife with his long time assistant. Just put Harsin girlfriend in twitter.

Most of the Auburn alumni I know were shocked and very disappointed in his hire. Not sure he has been a good culture fit. Then you have the big money donors that want to call the shots and get "their guy". Marital infidelity provides a very convenient excuse. Just not sure who they plan on hiring. Think LSU making a move, and Auburn's rivals Bama and UGA mega success, just adds to their sense of urgency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
