[NU Sports] 10 league games? Not likely

[Brad Wilson]

Agreed all on counts, but let's remember that bowls are not playoffs. They exist, first and foremost, to benefit their communities and charities. So if that means 40,000 undeserving Iowa fans get to to a good bowl while 15,000 NU fans get Detroit, well, that's the way the game is played.

I would like to see Delany lean more on the bowl committees to take the team they should take (NU should have been in Florida in 2000; well, NU should have been in Pasadena except for that loss to Iowa) but maybe he does this already.behind the scenes.

 I would rather that the Bowl Committees pick teams based upon their records and difficulty of schedule --Unfortunately the mid and lower bowls dont do this--and it encourages  schools to have weak non conference schedules--Of course the committees look at fan and TV base as well to bring in revenue-

But I think there ought to be more push to have schools such as NU and any others  to not get rewarded for weak schedules--but so long as the overall record is such a key determinant, schools are incentivised to load up on weak opponents
