Losing $8M last year in FB, $5M in MBB, $3M in WBB.  Not having any conference bowl tie-ins makes a big difference.

It's not the bowls, it's the lack of TV money - and spending as if you are in a conference with TV money.

You're absolutely right.  I should have been more clear that the bowls are all about TV money for the conferences.
