Smart. Worst case scenario for TV networks/Bowls. ACC had dozens @ champ

game. ND puts butts in seats and gets people to watch TV. ND is going to have TV Networks and money losing bowls FURIOUS with this absurd Championship structure and Bowl selection. If i were them, I'd bid less $$ next time due to the risk of goofy decisions like this. ACC Bowls are gonna get stuck with Duke/UVa/Wake and their 200 fans who travel.

Seems like that would be losing out on quite a bit of cash but then I guess
fnhokie • 12/07/25 04:43 PM ET
Funny thing is if they were in the ACC they would be in the playoff. **

bigbadbird • 12/07/25 04:16 PM ET
Wouldn't the extra practice for bowl game help prepare for next season??**
MaryWashGrad • 12/07/25 04:12 PM ET
Not really, too many opt-outs these days**
RLFDHokie • 12/07/25 04:14 PM ET
No kidding.The NIL guys would opt out leaving half a team and a loss.**
40ozDistrict • 12/07/25 04:19 PM ET
Maybe...but younger kids who really need more work are penalized.**
great2bahokie • 12/07/25 04:32 PM ET
True, but they're not the ones getting paid the big $ NIL**
MKD • 12/07/25 04:51 PM ET

Bburg Mac • 12/07/25 03:46 PM ET
so is this directed at the TV people? as in they control the playoffs
bigbadbird • 12/07/25 03:41 PM ET
Instead of a subjective committee, I say use some kind of formula similar
LXNTN_HOKIE • 12/07/25 04:07 PM ET
Just when they have a coach I can root for they cry like this.
Hokiefied • 12/07/25 03:40 PM ET
Bowl games are irrelevant due to the portal and coaching changes
