I wouldn’t be surprised to see more of the minor bowls cancel. They would take a severe financial hit without fans in attendance.
I was just thinking the same thing. The minor bowls don't get nearly as much TV money as the biggies, so without fans buying tickets, eating out, renting hotel rooms, etc., those bowl games could generate a net loss.
The Hawaii Bowl and Bahamas Bowl have already canceled, citing travel difficulties.
What’s the fun of going to a bowl game if you are going to be locked-down in your hotel and then play in an empty or mostly empty stadium?
The Hawaii and Bahamas Bowls have been cancelled due to COVID-19 quarantine restrictions. It’s a little over two months before the first bowls start if the schedule is similar to last season’s.
