DENVER — A group seeking to launch a
bowl game in Denver that would have pitted a Mountain West Conference team
against one from the Big 12 is holding off on its plans, Mountain West
commissioner Craig Thompson acknowledged last week.
Meanwhile plans to add a second bowl in
San Diego are going forward, Thompson said. A sponsor already is lined up
for the game, which organizers hope would pit a Mountain West team against
one from the Pac-10, he said.
If approved by the NCAA in April, the
new bowl game would be played before Christmas and the San Diego-based
Holiday Bowl.
The Mountain West last year had deals
for teams to play in the Liberty, Las Vegas and Emerald bowls. The
conference has one year left on its contract with the Emerald Bowl, but
deals with the Liberty and Las Vegas bowls have expired.
With the current BCS contract due to
expire in 2006, Thompson is supporting one-year bowl deals for the league
for the 2005 season.
