Do the non playoff bowls even move the needle anymore? We still get the same cut as the rest of the SEC schools. I don't think a 300$ best buy gift card and some Playstation games moves the needle anymore when these kids are making thousands (some hundreds of thousands of dollars). So outside of pride does it really matter? After the pathetic display last year at the bowl game, the practices don't seem to do much either. I'd like to see bowl games moved to week 0 of the following season when all teams are healthy and excited
