Bowl officials seek 5-7 teams to fill in after Irish, Iowa St, Kansas St say they're done for year

Bowl organizers were left scrambling to create matchups after Notre Dame, Iowa State and Kansas State announced they would decline bids despite being eligible.

It shows the hypocrisy of the whole charade

Non playoff bowl games are for exhibition and gambling purposes only

This has got to piss off alumni of any school that opts out of a bowl.

I've been to dozens of my alma mater's bowl games and its a PARTY. Getting back together with former classmates and partying for 2-3 days. Its a huge loss for the school and alumni association that usually uses these pre-game parties to generate more fan interest for season tickets and donations.

Completely a cluster-f#k on these schools parts.

I'm glad Big12 is fining each school $500,000. I wish more conferences would do it.

Give us landers plays

We need to move on from this movement, it will never happen, and we ALL know why it is clear as day.

Don't the bowls pay the universities hundreds of thousands if not millions?

A ISU or KSU bowl invite might be worth $3 mil to the school. This is valuable playing time & money. Not to mention a bonus for Fandom to follow your school.

IE if the Gophers got Music City I'd go and do NYE in SMASHville
