Really. Are folks from the northern states where the Big Ten is......going to follow in big numbers, their team which finished 7th in the Big Ten? All the way to Dallas?

The Big 10 (11) recently got out of their agreement with the Sun Bowl. I don't know how well some of those fans will travel, but it's a lot closer than El Paso.

This is fantastic....

Can they just make up a bowl game for SMU vs NT every year.

The Safeway Bowl....

Don't most Big 10 (XI) alumns end up in the south anyway?

Isnt this called the Alamo Bowl??? Either the Big 10 sees big bucks, or Texas sees big bucks from the big 10 11.

I think it's good that the Cotton Bowl will have a bowl game again but I also think it's going to be waaay too confusing. Now we'll have the "Cotton Bowl" at Dallas Cowboys Stadium and the "Dallas Football Classic" at the Cotton Bowl. I think the Cotton Bowl committee should be forced to abandon the "Cotton Bowl" name. Maybe they could call it the Jerry Bowl instead?

The Orange Bowl moved to what was Pro Player Park years before the actual Orange Bowl stadium was closed and no one had a problem. I think the bigger problem is for a winter time game in the old Cotton Bowl after the teams have seen Jerry World.
