....a problem that does not affect a playoff system. Even major bowl games between major football powers have plenty of empty seats these days.

This is why the BCS is such an evil thing. Schools like Baylor make more money from bowls without going to one than a school like TCU does by going to one every year.

while this bowl game is great for SMU, it's going to come at a pretty hefty cost. I guess this is what the "pony up" campaign is really all about.
