The lifespan of a college football bowl game continues to dwindle while more meaningless bowls get added to the postseason schedule. This season, 39 bowl games will be played starting in December.
You could say the Las Vegas Bowl is lucky to be celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, but the executive director of the local bowl, John Saccenti, wouldn’t call it luck.
The Las Vegas Bowl committee doesn’t just watch a few games in November then get together for a week to select two teams to play at Sam Boyd Stadium. It’s year-round work for the committee made up of 40 local business leaders on volunteer time.
