And, fans of the teams invited will want to go, The majority of the players will want to go for a much needed "vacation" as a reward for their work during the season.
There will be a few players elect to opt out. But, not many. These are non-championship bowls. There wasn't much NFL talent on these teams to begin with (That's why they aren't in the playoff).
Let's see...
-Teams/conferences still get paid.
-Fans still want to go
-Players still want to go
-Communities reap economic benefit of tourism
Yep, most non-championship bowls will be fine.
Yeah, a few of the minor bowls will go tits up. But, they were at risk of that happening anyway. The majority of the bowls will be fine. There was incessant and unnecessary whining about bowls prior to Playoff expansion. I fully expect the unnecessary whining to continue.
