College football's bowl bonanza is stopping at 41 games. For now.
The NCAA reportedly approved a three-year moratorium on adding bowl games, lasting through the 2019 season, per ESPN.com's Brett McMurphy; CBSSports.com's Jon Solomon confirmed the decision. The move comes after the 2015 campaign saw three teams—Nebraska, Minnesota and San Jose State—earn bowl berths despite posting losing records.
In previous years, bowl eligibility has typically been granted only to teams with .500 records or better. McMurphy's report noted only four teams in the previous 45 years had played in bowl games with losing records.
