The ONLY reason they didn't go to a better bowl is because of the stupid bowl rotation rules ....they would’ve gone bowling regardless in my scenario because they were 7-5. Try to keep up.So you would have sooner had the Hawks stay home in 2017?

In your scenario the total number of bowl games is 26 (27 counting national championship but those teams are already included in the total). 62 teams in 2017 had at least 7 regular season wins. 10 teams would have been left out. Not saying that Iowa would have gotten the short end of the stick but a 7-5 record would not have guaranteed anything. There, now that I took way too long looking for that info to prove nothing...carry onThe ONLY reason they didn't go to a better bowl is because of the stupid bowl rotation rules ....they would’ve gone bowling regardless in my scenario because they were 7-5.

I can remember a time when they would have not gotten close to a bowl game at 7-5. Were things better then?
I remember that too, early 1980s or so. Only there were not twelve regular season games. Some major college 7-4 teams were left home for the holidays.
Conference bowl tie-ins were very limited. Rose Bowl Big Ten vs. Pac Ten, Sugar Bowl SEC champ vs. other, Orange Bowl Big 8 champ vs. other, Cotton Bowl SWC champ vs. other. After that another ten or so bowls scrambled for the teams they thought would bring the most fans. Some offered nicer paychecks than others. The Fiesta Bowl bought it's way toward the top.
If you want to go back to only having ~58 FBS schools with 14 bowls, then 7-5 will not cut it most years. However, I'm only talking about cutting it down to ~96 schools with 24 bowls (+CFP games)I can remember a time when they would have not gotten close to a bowl game at 7-5. Were things better then?
Going by paid attendance ...not actual attendance as mandated by the NCAA.Since I couldn’t read the article what was the gimmick schools are using?
