Are there too many college bowl games?

I like American football, be it Pee Wee, middle school, high school, college or pro. But over the years, it seems like there are more and more college bowl games.

With that, I checked to see just how many college bowl games there are and I counted 40! The state of Florida hosts the most with nine bowl games.

Heck, I could only find nine bowl games played when I was a kid back in the 1950s and '60s. Now, there is a bowl game for everyone.

In these "entitlements / I deserve it" years we are raising our kids, soon there will be a "Loser Bowl," "I Sat on The Bench All Season Bowl," "Participation Bowl" and not to mention the "I Tried Out, But Didn't Get Selected Bowl"! Television will be airing 24-7-365 live bowl games.

As it is, there are already too many sports channels I don't want, but I'm forced to have if I want a lower cable TV bill.

Give me a break!
