Want to know why there are so many post-season college football bowl games? ESPN Regional Television runs and controls 10 of the bowl games and just picked up another.
It was announced last week that ESPN will manage Heart of Dallas Bowl game that is played on January 1 from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, TX and will feature schools from Conference USA and the Big 10.
This is why the bowl system will never go away, ESPN manages several of the bowls and provides inventory for their networks when college basketball is on Christmas break and there is nothing else going on. The bowls that ESPN manages are set forth below.
BBVA Compass Bowl (Birmingham, AL)
Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl (St. Petersburg, FL)
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl (Dallas-Fort Worth, TX)
