Future of College Football Bowl Games in Doubt After 3rd Bowl Shut Down
Our Summary
The number of college football bowl games is set to decrease following the cancellation of three bowl games, including the L.A. Bowl, Bahamas Bowl, and the bowl game in Detroit previously known as the GameAbove Sports Bowl. The Detroit bowl, held at Ford Field with a 29-year history, was last played in December when Northwestern defeated Central Michigan 34-7. The cancellations come amid broader discussions about the future of bowl games, as attendance issues and player opt-outs are contributing factors to their decline. The expansion of the College Football Playoff to 12 teams has also shifted focus away from traditional bowl games, leading to speculation that more bowls may be discontinued in the future.
