Has there ever been cases of teams accepting bowl bids being unable to


Field a team in that bowl before? Covid of course turned things upside down last year. The portal is a new animal. Coaches of course have always had to manage their rosters. It makes sense now that teams will need staff specifically managing the roster. The questions used to be are they healthy and are they going to class. Now coaches have to manage the 2nd, 3rd and 4th stringers whose mind is already in the transfer portal.

But to your question, FBS teams typically started with over 100 kids trying out and it scholarship and through the season, there would be 60-70 players that could be called on to play in a crunch. So if a coach says I’ve only got
39 guys I can field? That’s bad roster management.
