GameAbove Sports bowl, played at Ford Field in Detroit. Toledo (8-5) beat Pitt (7-6) in six overtimes, final score 48-46...interesting.

Game attendance was just 26,219. Toledo is just an hour away, Pitt is about four hours away. Seems like paying customers stayed away in droves.

I mean, now that there is a playoff, it will be the slow death of non-playoff bowls.  Will be interesting to see what TV viewership does.

most of the bowl games are on ESPN so as long as they at least breakeven and/or ESPN finds a suitable replacement I would expect the games to continue, well unless some teams decide the extra practice is not worth the cost (financial and otherwise) of the games...
