The bowl boondoggle - College Football - Rivals.com
"Overall the Sugar Bowl spent $11.1 million in 2006 alone.

The SEC operated its 2007 Championship Game (in effect a bowl game) for just $2.1 million.
The ACC managed to pull off its 2006 title game for $1.2 million.

It’s not easy making a single, three-and-a-half-hour football game cost over $11 million; which might explain why the Sugar Bowl has an actual “committee on golf.”

Then there’s the “special committee on ladies’ entertainment” (which may or may not have anything to do with the “conference relations” tab being so high)."

Someone's livin' large.
