USA Today has a story (mentions UMass) about the finances of the FBS Playoffs. A true playoff, like the ones we have talked about here in the past would be a huge moneymaker for everyone involved. Currently, the bowls retain a disportionate amount of influence on FBS post season.
With viewers down from the social media revolution, a true playoff would reclaim some the eyeballs lost to social media. The current bowl system is archaic.
