College football bowls

When I was a in middle school, I was on the quiz bowl team. The tournaments were nonchalant, the questions were manageable, and the teams all competed to have a good time, not just to advance.

This assumption was severely misguided. I remember strolling into the classroom for my first

College Football's bowl season is coming to a close, but it has saved its best shows for last. Clemson and Oklahoma will be squaring off in the Orange Bowl on ESPN at 3:00 PM CST on New Years Eve. Alabama and Michigan State will play in the Cotton Bowl on ESPN at 7:00 PM CST also on New Years Eve. All four of these teams are very deserving of their spots in the playoff, and unlike last year, there wasn't much controversy as it pertained to who got into the national semifinals.

Majority of the people would agree that college football is just as competitive and popular as the NFL. The annual revenue of the top 25 college football teams can reflect that assumption by grossing over 1.2 billion dollars alone. There is one major difference between the two associations which is NFL players are paid off the money they help bring in and college student athletes

Paying College Athletes The NCAA Football Bowl Championship Series (BCS) has finally arrived, and the National Championship awaits the semi-final winners. What also awaits, is about a 50 million dollar payout from the NCAA, to the winning university. This is just a very tiny portion of the amount of money the NCAA earns in revenue each year from 23 different sports and over 150 universities.
