How many bowl games are there now?

Fifty?

Each and every year it seems to expand and 50 may not be a crazy exaggeration soon. With certainly a lot of bowl games being played each postseason, sponsors have to support these bowls.

Add Redbox to the list:

Redbox is now the newest sponsor for the San Francisco Bowl, or as many may know it, the Foster Farms Bowl. The game was known as the Foster Farms Bowl from 2014-17. Each year, since its 2002 launch, the game has been played in San Francisco, Calif.

Last year, Purdue won the Foster Farms Bowl over Arizona 38-35. It was quite the entertaining game.

Since 2014, the Big Ten has had a tie-in to the game, alongside the Pac-12. The Pac-12 has been tied to the contest since 2006.
