There used to be college bowl games from sun up to well after the sun went down on all 3 major channels back in the 80's. Today? So far I have seen one bowl game on one station
If they want to save the bowl system they need to either do away with the playoff system or expand it so that all the bowl games are a playoff game, perhaps make a 32 team playoff the plays during the month of January.
In any case, New Year's day football games are a thing of the past. ESPN has destroyed college football in January.

Kentucky over Iowa.
The same thing happening all over the world unfortunately, in England the top soccer league used to be on free TV, then satellite came along and you had to pay for it to see live games. Then around 10 years or so ago another channel came into the mix and you had to pay two subscriptions to see all the games and recently Amazon bought some games so now there’s 3 companies sharing them. Probably the same as the NFL on ESPN, FOX and I think NBC is the other?
Some people pay it, some refuse, some can’t afford it and others buy illegal boxes so they can see all the channels for a fraction of the price.
