They want to see a bowl committee with community members and know that people with past football experience are on board. The whole goal is to make sure it's financially viable to protect teams that would participate in the game.

We were very fortunate to get a Big 12 school and Houston, a strong local draw, here and get about 20,000 fans. As long as you're not trying to compete with the big boys, it is possible to do well.

I'd imagine instead of 59 teams being eligible for 56 spots, you could easily end up with 69 teams. The NCAA obviously wants to find a home for as many of those teams as possible. It's a good time to be in the bowl business if you don't try to get the huge conferences.
