Tonight on Sports Open Line, Kevin Wheeler previews the Mizzou vs Illinois Braggin’ Rights basketball game. Wheels also elaborates on Mizzou running back Tyler Badie not suiting up for the Armed Races Bowl to protect himself for his future NFL career. This decision was not made by Badie, but by head coach Eli Drinkowitz. This leads into Wheeler’s rant against lower tier “bowl” football games. There were 19 bowl games in 1990; now, there are 44. Too many teams don’t belong, and they just aren’t special anymore!
