People who think there are too many bowl games, that the BCS is rigged, that college football deserves better than the teams, conferences and institutions that surround them are selfish. These people, wherever they find themselves are self-centered.
These people want the self satisfaction of an enjoyable, resolved 10 or so games that will crown a sole team the best in the nation.
Without the first two rounds of the NCAA college basketball tournament it would just be called “March”, because there is no real madness from the Sweet-16 on in. The Super Bowl should lack the prescribed title if they pitted the two best regular season teams together in a single game in mid-February.
These games matter, not to the fans that remain ignorant about what IUPUI means as an acronym or as a university, but to the players. For most of these players this is an experience they will tell their grandkids about.
These student-athletes, as some uncommonly refer to themselves as, will not cherish this moment. They will enjoy the ride and take for granted what it truly means. But there will be more than a few that take this in and see that they are no bigger than the game but it is a privilege to be taking part in it. These are the players that need
these ‘irrelevant games’.
So while rude fans can sit at home flipping the channel past the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl or the Beef’o’Brady Bowl St. Petersburg this is where the real magic of the bowl season happens. The players earned this so relish it all fellas.
