[Husker] The fed bringing the hear on the BCS

[Jeff Sr - Hotmail]

Fellow Husker Fans,

	Some folks seem to forget the financial payout for many of these
bowls; especially the BCS.  The conferences benefit and split the funds out
to the member schools.  Without the bowl games, we may not have some of the
other college sports.

Not to nitpick, but the BCS championship game isn't a bowl anymore.  All of
the bowls, BCS or otherwise, are the same.  They are exhibition games played
for profit.  Some have big pay, some not so big, that's the only difference.
But other than that, they don't mean anything.  Over half the teams in the
FBS go to bowl games, so it's pretty funny when you hear that a team was
successful because they went to a bowl.  7-5, lots of them, go to bowls.
6-6, lots of them, go to bowls.  Hooray, we got invited to the Allstate
Sugar bowl, or the Emerald Bowl, or the Papa Johns bowl, or the ChikfilA
bowl, or the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.  Hooray, we won the Capitol One bowl, or
the Outback bowl, or the Insight Bowl, or the Pacific Life Holiday bowl.
Awesome.

Dave
