Attention, Versus Conference
Two bowls in the works that did not become affiliated with the Pac-10.
The proposed Congressional Bowl in Washington, D.C., signed an agreement with the Atlantic Coast Conference for 2008 and has plans for the second contracted team in 2008 (pending NCAA certification) to come from Air Force, Army or Navy.
Another proposed bowl at St. Petersburg's Tropicana Field was submitted to the NCAA's certifying board last week. Tentatively named the St. Petersburg Bowl, the proposed game matches teams from the Big East Conference and Conference USA on Dec. 21, 2008.
Yeah, I'm sure bowls in D.C. and Florida were anxious to sign up the "PACIFIC"-10 conference and vice-versa. Take a breath between Versus Conference rants every once in awhile.
