Following his team's loss to Maryland last Thursday night, Louisville head women's basketball coach Jeff Walz turned his postgame press conference into a soapbox. He was none too pleased with his squad's effort, which evidently reminded him of a phenomenon that's been eating at him for quite some time. In his view, too many Millennials are 'soft,' thanks to America's increasingly-prevalent "everyone's a winner" attitude toward competition among kids. The real world is far less forgiving, he warned, unleashing a composed but forceful tirade that quickly went viral.
No, because there are (albeit low) standards for qualification to go to a bowl.
RubyTwo gave the most accurate, although abbreviated, answer. It's all about money. It takes 6 wins to qualify for a bowl and if you get that.. You're probably going to SOME bowl game because there are so many.
The reason that there are so many is because of the money they bring in to the host city.
Do they lose prestige because of this? Yes. The Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl and other big games are still prestigious. The Arizona Bowl.. not so much.
