I'd rather turn down

You're wrong about schools losing money. Why do you think the bowls exist? They're a cash cow. That's why they'll never go to a 16 team playoff. They don't give a fuck about tradition. 30 bowl games > 15 playoff games.

You should read this book called "Death to the BCS". The schools themselves lose money going to bowl games actually.

Most conferences they share the bowl money anyways so it doesn't matter if you go 12-0 or 0-12 far as that is concerned.

Plus you get stuck with hotel bills, travel, food money, etc.

College football is a cash cow cause of the home games. No real expenses put into home games and you have 70K+ packing your stadium. Plus TV contracts.

Bowl games? Networks make a shit load but the teams who are going to the bowl games? They are losing money.

Teams lose money on bowl games guys. I can't believe you guys didn't know that dirty secret.

Just google search "College teams lose money on bowl games" a lot more links that tell the story.

Go read "Death to the BCS" as well which really explains it well.
