“We are very pleased with our future bowl lineup,” said C-USA Commissioner Judy MacLeod. “Our teams will continue to have postseason opportunities in outstanding destinations that are very accessible to our schools and their fans. We are also excited to have additional flexibility to create great matchups.”

As part of the new bowl cycle, C-USA will annually send teams to the Bahamas Bowl against a Mid-American Conference opponent, and to the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, against a Sun Belt Conference school. The league has participated in all six Bahamas Bowls and has placed a team in the New Orleans Bowl 14 times in its first 18 years.

As previously announced, the league will continue its relationship with the Independence Bowl. C-USA is guaranteed to send a team to the Shreveport, Louisiana-based bowl in 2021 and 2025, while holding a secondary agreement with the bowl in the other years of the cycle.

C-USA will also continue its long-standing relationship with the Hawai’i Bowl. The league is set to participate in the Honolulu-based game in 2020, 2022 and 2024.

The conference’s remaining guaranteed selections in the cycle (either 4 or 5 per season) will include the LendingTree Bowl (Mobile, Alabama) and the following games which are owned and operated by ESPN Events:

1. Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl (Fort Worth, Texas)
2. TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl (Birmingham, Alabama)
3. Boca Raton Bowl (Boca Raton, Florida)

“We are excited about extending our relationship with Conference USA,” said Pete Derzis, ESPN senior vice president of programming and ESPN Events. “We look forward to continuing to feature the conference’s top programs, student-athletes, coaches and fans in our bowl games across ESPN’s networks.”

C-USA’s 25th football season is scheduled to begin on Saturday, August 29. The league’s 16th annual football championship game is scheduled for Saturday, December 5.
 
All the fan appeal of the motor city bowl and Detroit in winter without the warmth of an indoor stadium...

I think Anchorage, Alaska is warmer at that time of the year...


Where are the playing the Myrtle Beach Bowl at?
 
fenway park- are we ever going to play in a more historic stadium? Absolute phenomenal city with a VERY entertaining district right by the stadium. It is honestly not as cold as your probably imagining. Cold sure, but the blistering cold doesn't happen until january and febuary. Parlay a Bruins hockey game(real hockey btw lol. GO B's) and you have yourself a great weekend. With the vast amount of $hit bowl games that are out there that one sounds like a blast. I can go on and on about how good of time that would be. Count me in.

Couldn’t agree with you more. Other than I think the area around Wrigley is superior. Can’t imagine ever passing on an opportunity to see any sporting event at Fenway. If from the South, it’s sporting to bash folks from the north & east. Our experience is, people from DC & Boston as congenial, friendly, and compassionate as they come.
 
I really enjoyed my trip down to Montgomery for the Camellia Bowl a few years ago. Easy drive, stadium was the right size, good atmosphere.

First rounds on me Alpha.
