Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 3203167, member: 628"] I'm on Team IB when it comes to bowl practices. Obviously it's better to have them than not, but I'm not sure just how critical they really are. It's not like the players are taking those 15 days off, eating multiple bags of Cheetos and not getting off the couch. I imagine they're still working out, doing position-specific training, etc. In terms of the value of bowls on recruiting... I suspect winning teams tend to recruit better than losing teams, and making a bowl means a team is winning. Two-thirds of FBS makes bowls, so I'm not sure how much of a stark differentiator it really is. High school kids and their parents aren't dumb, they know the difference between being in the New Year's Six and being a perennial participant in low tier bowls. [/QUOTE]
