"Meaningless" bowl games actually matter
Pretty interesting article that shows what happens when a football game is on national tv during prime time:

The WKU admissions website saw a 250% spike during the Boca Raton Bowl.

The WKU admissions website saw a 250% spike during the Boca Raton Bowl.

The 250% spike was 100 page views, not a lot in total. The 'About' page got a better spike though, seems some viewers were trying to get a little background on WKU. That's an interesting article and does show the importance of national exposure.

Agreed, a good athletic program is a great recruiting tool in general for a university.
