Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4495464, member: 5685"] As to the Bowls why not play them in late March and early April? That gives fans 3-4 months to make travel plans vs finding a last min flight. Or in our case Yankee Stadium in late March vs late December. Teams can have their Spring practice leading up to their Bowl game. Teams that don't qualify for a Bowl are stuck having only a Spring game. Big time programs can still play a Spring game if they want (likely 2 weeks prior to the Bowl). These Bowl games don't count toward the upcoming season's record. Kids won't opt out. Give more practices for teams making a Bowl to prep and make up for the practices lost in December. You can work around the NCAAT. For example last season you could have Bowls March 21-23 and March 28th to April 1st. Then April 5th on. Since it is in the Spring you could technically also have the prior season's SRs play, incoming transfers, and the early on campus Frosh. [/QUOTE]
