If there is a college football season, the bowl industry says it collectively stands ready to hold a full postseason — whenever that might occur.

Though the bowl industry has collectively bemoaned its second-tier status since the advent of the College Football Playoff, bowls outside the New Year’s Six still generate enough revenue to distribute $92 million to conferences. But in addition to securing lucrative television deals, their financial model is also dependent on schools that participate in the games agreeing to buy a set number of tickets that it is their responsibility to sell.

Though athletics departments across the spectrum of FBS are in the process of cutting expenses for the coming year and many coaches have accepted salary reductions, it’s highly unlikely skipping bowl games would be on the table as a cost-saving measure, according to administrators contacted by USA TODAY Sports. Admittedly, though, planning for bowl games at this point is pretty far down the list of issues schools are trying to get their arms around.

“If we had to make a move we’d do it,” said Liberty Bowl executive director Steve Ehrhart, whose Memphis-based game is contracted with the Big 12 and SEC. “I can’t speak for other bowls, but just like the conferences, there could be different circumstances in different parts of the country, so in our position just for us, we’d work with our conferences and say what makes the most sense for us as a partnership.

Right

There will be no more large capacity games people. The elite have chose to social distance us forever. Most restaurants will fail also due to only allowing 25% capacity from now on. You can thank China and the new world order for the coronavirus.

So brave to patiently wait for your billions-generating free labor to be healthy enough to get this big private cash machine cracking!

Honestly, not many peeps care.
