Bowl games mean more than fame and a vacation
Schools profit from bowl bids
By Kristi Fogler
Kansan staff writer
Today, post-season college football bowls games mean more than national exposure and a trip for fans and players to some place like Florida, California or Hawaii. To many teams and conferences, it means big payoffs and more money.

For example, the entire Nebraska football band, which has about 200 members, attended the Orange Bowl, but Kansas is paying only for a smaller pep band of about 30 Marching jayhawks.
