5-7 teams in bowl games a HUGE disgrace to NCAA
(Written by kencraw)
I didn’t realize this until today, but apparently the NCAA ended up three teams short for the number of bowl slots out there. Because commitments have been made, the NCAA felt compelled to allow three 5-7 teams to participate in bowls.
There’s no other way to say this: SHAME ON YOU NCAA!
There should never, never, never, NEVER be a situation where teams with losing records go to bowl games. I’ll concede that I’m on the picky side of things in that I think it should be restricted to 7-5 teams. But I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in thinking that 6-6 is as absolutely low as it should go.
The NCAA should have never allowed the number of bowls they’ve allowed. They should nix at least two games next year (which removes 4 teams) and should analyze the scenarios to see what the minimum number of 6-6 teams that should be expected in any season to see if any more need to be eliminated.
This is an absolute disgrace.
