What if video games sponsored crappy college football bowls? Posted: 23 Nov 2014 10:26 AM PST With one full week left on the schedule we're now embarking on college football's bowl season, which is when American institutions of higher education send 85 of their students to perform in three-hour advertisements for steakhouse chains, lawn trimmers and defense contractors. For those who don't know anything about football or live in the United Kingdom, bowl games generally work like this: An organizing committee invites two universities to send their teams to play a game at an under-used stadium around New Year's Day. This "invitation" is really a "requirement" that the universities buy a huge chunk of tickets to the game, which they know they'll never turn around and sell to their disappointed alumni.
