Pinstripe Bowl -- confirmed

[qdawgg]

Find a corporate sponsor to put the game on. There are a lot of moving parts to having a bowl game. The 12-team playoff is going to be a shock to the system. The network airing this playoff is going to make a lot of promises to the committee on how many people it will watch and much money it can sell advertising-for with these playoff games to get the most possible money for all parties involved so everyone gets their cut. And if that means ESPN telling Duke's Mayo (for example) kill your bowl game and roll the money you use to put that on it into advertising on multiple playoff games, its better for both you and us, and more eyeballs will know about Duke's Mayo...guess what Duke Mayo is gonna do!

Again, we will revisit this in a couple of years and see who was right and who was wrong! Enjoy your Sunday

I have zero clue what’s going to happen but my thought on this is the lower tier bowls exist for the lower tier companies. ESPN doesn’t need Dukes Mayo to advertise during any of the games of the 12 team playoff. They’ll have more than enough big time advertisers doing that; Pepsi/coke, vehicle manufacturers, electronics. Those lower tier bowls will still be needed for the lower tier companies who want to keep their name out there.
