It is the time of year where we start to find out what places like uDrove (transportation management), Beef ‘O’ Brady’s (family sports restaurant) and AdvoCare (health and wellness) are or do. In fact, there are so many sponsors that it is hard to even know where some of the College Bowl Games are begin played or what the purpose is behind them. Except for maybe advertising revenue.

Still, College Bowl season is a great time of year for NCAA football betting and one last gasp for college fooball bettors to cash a few wagers. It is also a time of year where Bowl contests abound and Sportsbooks offer up some extra bonus cash.
