Dear Yahoo Sports College Bowl Pick'em user,

We wanted to let you know that Yahoo Sports College Bowl Pick'em will be discontinued and will no longer be available for the upcoming college bowl pick'em season. Your college bowl pick'em historical standings will still be viewable in your profile.

As we continue to innovate and grow Yahoo Fantasy Sports, part of that is consolidation of some of our offerings.

We thank you for being a fan and loyal user, and we hope that you continue to enjoy the rest of Yahoo Fantasy Sports games.
Sincerely,
Yahoo Fantasy Sports

why does it matter...they are still college football games
 
Well I love college basketball, but I don't tune in to the NIT, CIT, or CIB. These bowl games are the equivalent of the non March Madness tourneys.

I think they are more like regular season college basketball games....games with very little meaning outside of the fanbase of the two teams playing.

I'd much rather watch regular season college basketball over a meaningless, sponsored exhibition game. Just my personal preference.
 
It looks like Fox and CBS quit doing them too. Maybe they are worried about being part of gambling. Feds shut down this huge survivor pool last week.

I doubt it...they're continuing the rest of yahoo fantasy sports; why aren't they worried about them.

I don't know for sure how yahoo makes money making these fantasy contests but they must be making money somehow - I guess they get paid per click from advertisers, or whatever.

Dollars to doughnuts they're shutting down the Bowl pick'ems games because they weren't making enough money.

I just find it odd that all of the sites discontinued them at the same time the feds came down on that other site. We'll see when march madness starts up.

Look at the mocking response right on this here thread to the lack of interest in these bowl games. My primary interest in the bowl season for years has pretty much been limited to our little Pickems game on this board, besides whatever bowl Michigan was happening to play in.

They all probably just realized at the same time that there's not enough people who care or play for the game to be a money maker.
