They do it for the extra practice time that it allows, not because they get anything in return.

The big bowls are cash cows for the teams and their conferences. Read Wetzel's article. The big bowls are so awash in cash that they have to find creative ways to spend it (they're all non-profits). It's the lesser bowls that have popped up in recent years that don't benefit the entrants financially, and I wouldn't call them part of the bowl tradition.
