Bowl Bidding War Over Zips

[mollautt]

=>From Cincy Enquirer...

Last year, Northern Illinois of the MAC went 10-2, defeating Maryland and Alabama, yet sat home for the holidays.

This year, ironically, there could be a bidding war for Akron.

"Incredibly, the shortage of available schools has not slowed the prospect of additional bowls -- games in Denver and San Diego are being proposed."

AND -- don't forget the Toronto Bowl, or whatever it ends up being called (Maple Leaf Bowl?), widely expected to begin in 05 between teams from the MAC and Big East. All these bowls, if some (like the Hawaii bowl) don't die out will push the NCAA to 12-games every year. Not sure that's good for student athletes, but it may be inevitable.
