The bowls force the schools to buy X amount of tickets to be invited. Along with travel expenses and what not, a lot of schools take a pretty big hit to go to them. IIRC, in some cases the financial cost is upwards or $2M for schools. But, schools are really hesitant to say no to bowls because that would irritate the boosters and hurt the program since they don't get the extra month of practice...

And I doubt that the conference would let any school turn down an invite considering bowl money is split evenly to the schools (at least in the SEC it is).

Mizzou's defense is playing fantastic. Can't blame them if it ends up a loss, although I think they'll eventually win this.

It's frustrating there will not be a football game on TV new years eve. I know NCAA ususally defers to NFL on Sundays and the NFL somewhat last minute didn't schedule a game for Sunday night so it's more on the NFL than NCAA. But, come on! WTF.
