Is anybody out there?

First game I've even looked in on so far is Notre Dame and Rutgers.

Attendance looks like 200 people. Nobody there.

How can these bowls survive?

A few of the early bowls have been decent games.

I think sponsors foot most of the bill for the pissant games, and get most of the tickets, no?

I am willing to bet I could have walked up to Reliant Stadium or Jerryworld and either found free tickets by walking around, or gotten all four of my family in the game for less than $50.

Why are sponsors still giving money to these games?  Or is it a contractual perk?  ESPN says, "If you want to advertise in the BCS Championship game, you'll fork out an extra million for the Food Network Iron Chef Bowl." 

I can't imagine the ratings are higher than a Sunday morning Hallmark movie.
