Unfortunately, the advantage to a program to have additional days of practice makes it more difficult to say no if invited to a bowl game.

There is also some benefit with regards to recruiting and alumni relations I would think.

Whether or not the above is valued above the cost of attending is a good question. I would hazard a guess that ADs and other folks making the decision just care about enjoying the boondoggles while they spend their schools' money
