There are 40 bowl games. That is too many for some people who apparently have better things to do during the holiday season than to passively sit in front of what amounts to glorified exhibition games played by unfamiliar teams. That said, the “more football is bad” argument is a tough one to win. A good starting point for supporting such a position is to highlight the difficulty in discerning a current college bowl game, a former one and one made-up entirely.
