There's No Such Thing as Too Many College Football Bowl Games

Those who claim there are "too many bowl games" can rejoice. There won't be any more bowl games added to the postseason slate anytime soon.

According to ESPN's Brett McMurphy, the NCAA has put a halt to the addition of new bowl games and shattered the dreams of Austin, Texas; Charleston, South Carolina; and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina—all of which were in the process of adding games.

Before you hit the comment section and immediately complain about 5-7 teams making bowl games and mediocre teams receiving "participation trophies," take a step back and truly understand what bowl games are.
