Outback Bowl Director/President/CEO makes over $1 Million per year

[GoHawks24]

There is a lot of jealousy in this thread...

If any of you are so outraged then don't watch the game.

I don't know if I would call it jealousy and I don't really get the feeling that anyone is "outraged". I would say it's more of a call out. There wouldn't be a game without the players and they're sticking it to them once again. The CEO makes $1 million and the respective schools rake it in while the players get a swag bag, free meals and a couple of trips to an amusement park and the zoo.

Do schools make money from bowl games like the Outback Bowl anymore?

And ask yourself why bowls like this have fought tooth and nail against a playoff to begin with and certainly expansion.

Iowa had a surplus from the Pinstripe Bowl last year. Not sure on recent Outback Bowls.

It IS a nice zoo, though

But you're selling the OB bowl short....the two teams are bowling against one another *and* are attending a Lightening hockey game. Stuff of dreams.

In addition to all of that, the fans get to spend time (in the winter) in a tropical paradise. #Winning.

That hurt. I had that converted from Beta to VHS. Then DVD. Then Blu-Ray. Then to various other digital formats. Then again, I keep the original in my safe-deposit box, so I'm good!

Way to LEARN THE GAME!
