There has not ever been a serious effort to cut the number of bowls. Think about it who wants fewer bowls?

Coaches? No they want more shots.

AD's? No they know the value of a bowl to fund-raising and ticket sales.

Presidents? No they like the exposure and the chance to entertain donors.

Players? No they want to play.

Conference commissioners? No they want all their eligible teams playing.

Fans? Some until their bowl eligible team gets left at home.

The bowls? Some would like it to reduce competition but they also fear cutting bowls would make a playoff easier ending their show.

So to get anything passed in the NCAA you need the support of AD's, conference commissioners and presidents. Those three groups have no incentive to cut bowls so why would they?

We will go up to 30 bowls within five years. One will be the plus 1 bowl and some other site will get one. With a I-AA counting every year and 12 games the number of bowl eligible teams is going to increase.
