Reports: Mid-American Conference to play in Arizona Bowl starting in 2020

The NCAA is expected to announce new bowl cycles after upcoming meetings in May, but per reports from Stadium’s Brett McMurphy, we may already know the details of the bowl game changes.

There are a lot of changes at the top levels of college football, of course, but the Mid-American Conference seems to have benefitted from the trickle-down effect of changes, as McMurphy reported on Tuesday afternoon the Mid-American Conference will replace the Sun Belt Conference in the Arizona Bowl starting in 2020.

The game, played annually in Tuscon, Arizona, since 2015, has traditionally matched up the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt, with the Mountain West going 3-1 in the matchup.
