   Not if you're an alumnus or just a rabid FB fan.   
      
   There probably are too many bowls and they should be a reward for a good   
   season. But as others have pointed out, they do make money and attract   
   viewership.   
      
   My beef is with all of the opt outs. That needs to be fixed by coaches   
   and athletic directors, not by the NCAA.
