To answer the original question…not really. But that doesn’t mean that the opposite isn’t true. In other words, if you are not in a bowl most years, then recruiting will suffer.
You can only sell sunshine for so long. Eventually a coach has to deliver results.

So true. It’s just like a lot of things where the presence of something makes no real difference but the absence of the same thing does. Ex: Just having a college degree will not get you a great job but not having one may keep you from landing one.
I think it does aid in recruiting directly by being able to “sell” a program that is at least making post season trips.
It indirectly helps recruiting because it aids greatly in player development in the form of that extra month of practice. Player development aids in winning, winning aids in recruiting.
Everything in college football nowadays is justified by recruiting.
Seems like the extra 20+ practices is the real benefit for a program’s development, but I’d bet the research would show very little correlation.
The days of the Mafia in Riddick, Rossi, Falzarano, Joe Scarpatti, and Tony Kozarsky(who wasn’t Italian, but that didn’t matter). Never have been able to figure out why the games in their were cold and now it’s hot all football season. Must be global warming??? Wearing a coat and tie to a game? You been laughed out of the stands now.

Stick, Maybe the sun dropped behind that building that generated steam for the campus. We got in the shade a lot quicker in Riddick than The Carter.
Speaking of lower tier bowls… USAToday has us in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit on 12/26. Michigan recuiting inroads right there, I tell ya!
Now that’s what I call ‘thinking a good thought.’ I gotta feeling that USAToday sees us at 6-6 and with any luck at all we’ll be 7-5 and in a better bowl. Bowl committees do like teams with fan that travel, you know.

We would sell maybe 500 tickets, and then I would have to try to find the game on tv while in Costa Rica!

No es una problema,se`nor Beej.
Sportsman Lodge in San Jose will satiate your needs for both styles of football(And more.)Bowl games matter,but continual lowest tiers mean absolutely jack squat in recruit considerations.
However,there may be that one or two kids in Detroit that ain’t gonna be a Sparty, or Wolverine….
Hells yeah. Saturday after Xmas.
A snow game for the Steinbrenner Cup would rock.
Maybe even get a shot at pummeling Maryland.
