The NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee approved this week the recommendation for three new bowls beginning in 2020, setting the stage for a proposed college bowl game at Coastal Carolina.
The bowls formats approved by the committee are for the six-year period from 2020-21 to 2025-26.
College football reporter Brett McMurphy, formerly of ESPN, cited sources in a report that named Wrigley Field in Chicago and the Myrtle Beach area as “near locks” to host two of the new bowl games. Charleston, Greenville, N.C., and Tempe, Ariz., were among the possibilities for the third new bowl.
