I understand the distinction between "traveling well" and attendance; I
wonder how much the bowls themselves really care.  Just when I think
that the bowls are tied in pretty heavily with the local businesses, I
hear about some Florida bowl that would love to get Florida or Florida
State.  Likewise the Orange Bowl has never seemed to turn down a chance
to take Miami.  Selling game tickets is their number one priority.  And
that's not all bad for the local businesses.  Most would probably rather
take their chances with getting even a day's worth of business from many
of 60,000 fans rather than two or three days from a much smaller number
of travelers.  Think about the boost to the Lincoln economy on Husker
game days.
