Here's the thing: college football isn't supposed to be about money. It's not Walmart, colleges don't have their own trading stocks. College football's bowl system is supposed to be about rewarding deserving teams a bowl game after a successful season. This isn't like a pre-season college basketball tournament where high profile teams are picked to attract attention to the tournament. This is college football's post-season, where good teams are to be rewarded for good seasons. What happens in their bookstore is irrelevant. Teams shouldn't be penalized because of popularity, unfortunately though that's what the bowl system does.

Sure, Notre Dame gets preferential treatment. And many times, they don't deserve it, but the bowls are about money, and ND brings cash where ever it goes. If you are ever on the South Bend campus, stop by the book store and watch the business they do, even outside of football season. The place is mobbed. Then you will understand the true power of Notre Dame football. The Sugar Bowl and other BCS bowls could only be interested if the Irish got to 9 wins which is an impossibility.
