 As a follow up to Ken, the communities make HUGE $$ of this event and the others like it. The last time OSU played Miami for the title it generated something like 225 million dollars for Tempe and the surrounding area.

This year with the Insight Bowl, the hugely successful Feista Bowl and now the BCS bowl, I would have to think we're pushing 400 to 500 million dollars.

That money in no way benefits the players or the Universities, but it gives you an idea of the money involved in these bowl games.
