Las Vegas Bowl to cut ties with MWC and replace with P5 team

Post by waverider »

Per Brett McMurphy.
Once the new NFL stadium opens in 2020 the LVB will cut its 19year alliance with the MWC and put a PAC-12 team against another P5 (possibly sec). In 2020, the MWC could send their champ to the Arizona Bowl.

Wow that really sucks. That basically means a 10-2 Boise St. type team is getting displaced by a 6-6 or 7-5 P5 mid-pack team. This is exactly the kind of thing the AAC needs to be fighting against as much as possible. We already have most of our bowl games against G5 conferences. If we want to prove we belong, we need as many P5 match ups as possible. Bowls are one of the only ways to guarantee that happens.
