"At the same time, though there will be more pressure on the bowls to sell tickets as well."
In the past, the teams have had to purchase a certain number of tickets to the bowl games.
The teams then sold the tickets, but if they couldn't sell all of them, their conferences would have to make up for the unsold tickets.
With 28 bowls generating roughly $150 million per year, and a 29th bowl in Fort Worth, Texas, possibly still to come, this rule shows the NCAA has taken steps to ensure the bowl system stays in place. Carter said.
The Big 12 earned between $20 million and $25 million from bowl games in 2002-2003.
The NCAA's rule change did not affect this season's bowl payouts.
Iowa State ends Kansas State's winning streak

AMES, Iowa — Lindsey Wilson made sure that Iowa State was not embarrassed at home a second time.
Wilson scored 27 points and Iowa State ended No. 3 Kansas State's 13-game winning streak with a 74-69 victory last night.
It was a dramatic turnaround from Iowa State's previous home game, an 86-55 drubbing by Missouri that was the Cyclones' worst loss at Hilton Coliseum in coach Bill Fennelly's eight seasons.
wanted to get back to Hilton magic, as corny as that sounds. We've always been a team that defended our home court well. We wanted to do that tonight."
"That was a tough thing to deal with." Wilson said. "We just
Consider it done. The Cyclones (8-9, 3-3) built a 14-point lead early in the second half, then withstood everything the short-handed Wildcats could throw at them. Kansas State's only other loss was to No. 6 Stanford, 63-57 on Nov. 30.
had played 55 minutes in a 71-69 victory over Texas Saturday.
Kansas State (18-2, 5-1) got only five minutes from third-leading scorer Laurie Koehn, who has been bothered by a sprained ankle and did not score. Koehn, the team's best 3-point shooter,
The Wildcats also played much of the first half without leading scorer Kendra Wecker, who sat out the final 11:49 of the period after getting her third foul. Iowa State built a 12-point lead while she was on the bench and that turned out to be too much for the Wildcats to overcome.
"It it was definitely hard sitting on the bench," Wecker said. "But I think our team tumb in there."
Having Wecker on the bench certainly didn't help, but Kansas State coach Deb Patterson thought the game was lost before then.
"I think we really squandered the first three or four minutes of that game with some very poor basketball decisions," Patterson said.
With the victory, Iowa State matched the biggest upset in the program's history. The Cyclones beat Oklahoma last season when the Sooners were ranked third.
Wilson, who shot 5-for-20 in a 68-60 loss at Kansas State on Jan. 15, made 7-of-11 shots in the first half and finished 9-for-17. Anne O'Neil added 18 points for Iowa State, Lisa Kriener scored 14 and Mary Cofield 12—all on 3-point baskets.
Megan Mahoney led Kansas
State with 22 points and Nicole Ohlde scored 21. Wecker finished with 10 and was 0-for-5 on 3-point shots.
Iowa State held Kansas State to 37 percent shooting in taking a 38-30 halftime lead, then went on a 10-2 run to go up 48-34. O'Neil banked in a 3-pointer from the top of the key to make it 43-32 and Mary Fox capped the burst with her only basket, a 3-pointer from the left corner.
"We all came closer after that Missouri loss," O'Neil said. "That was such a defeat. We all needed to come together. Otherwise, you can fall apart. Luckily, we stuck with it."
Texas Tech-Colorado match-up has ups and downs
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK, Texas — Andre Emmett scored 19 points as Texas Tech beat Colorado 66-56 last night, giving Tech coach Bob Knight his 799th career win.
Knight goes for No. 800 when the Red Raiders (12-3, 2-5 Big 12)
play Texas & M on Saturday in College Station.
The game against Colorado became tense in the second half whenColorado center David Harrison drew two quick technicals and appeared to want a fight with a Tech player.
Police were called to the court to escort Harrison off the floor
after he was ejected.
The first technical was called at 15:49. The second came at 13:03 after an offensive foul against Michel Morandais.
Tech's Pawel Storozynski also was called for one because he and Harrison bumped one another after the foul was called.
A couple of seconds later Harrison began to move toward the center of the floor where Storozynski was standing with teammates.
Storozynski saw Harrison coming and put up his fists to prepare to defend himself, but Harrison's teammates and coaches pulled Harrison back.
Harrison was then ejected from the game.
Tech trailed only briefly at the start of the game and Colorado (12-6, 2-3) had trouble hanging on to the ball and making baskets. Colorado finished 19-for-72 and had 16 turnovers.
